SUPPLIES FOR FALLOUT SHELTERS

SUMMARY

Before an emergency

1. If you intend to go to a public fallout shelter in a time of attack, find out now whether it has emergency supplies in it.

--If it has emergency supplies, always keep on hand at home (or in your car) those few additional supplies you would need to take with you.

--If it does not have emergency supplies, always keep on hand at home all the supplies you would need to take with you.

2. If you intend to use a family fallout shelter at home, always keep on hand, in and around your home, all the supplies and equipment you would need for a shelter stay of two weeks.

During an emergency

1. If you are going to a public fallout shelter, take with you the supplies you will need.

2. If you are going to your home fallout shelter, gather up the supplies and equipment you want to take to the shelter area with you.
