A curated collection of the best shelter designs Since the dawn of the Cold War in the 1950's people have sought ways to protect themselves from the specter of global thermonuclear war. Both the private sector and the U.S. government responded with plans for home bomb/fallout shelters. We have reviewed them all and selected the best of the best that still meet the needs of citizens in the 21st Century. With war in Europe again a 'new reality', the need for shelters is not such an old-fashioned idea anymore. Volume One focuses on shielding principles and the classic FEMA shelters, first envisioned in the 1960's, shown here in the updated 1980s-era versions. These nine different designs encompass three basic types; basement retrofit, above-ground, and stand-alone underground. Each design includes plan drawings, material lists (with 2022 costs in USD), and basic construction details. FEMA Shelter designs in this volume include: — Modified Ceiling Shelter, Basement "A" — — Modified Ceiling Shelter, Basement "B" — Concrete Block Shelter, Basement "C" — Snack Bar Shelter, Basement "D" — Tilt up Storage Unit, Basement "E" — Lean-To Shelter, Basement "F" — Outside Concrete Shelter — Aboveground Home Shelter — Home Shelter Masonry Block Future volumes will present more shelter types, including Canadian civil defense designs, and farm-specific ones that even include livestock protection shelters.

We have all heard of people talking about a doomsday, or watched the TV show Doomsday Preppers. We have heard people called "Preppers", or "What Iffers". People have been talking about some sort of "End of the World" scenario, for decades. Even the United States government has many bunkers around the country, some of which have been bought by ordinary citizens and even preppers. Some of us are concerned something may happen sooner than later. I have heard more and more people talking about the possibility of an imminent disaster. Some people worry about different possible scenarios. For example; economic collapse, societal collapse, civil unrest, electromagnetic pulse, weather destruction, war, fire, nuclear attacks, terrorist attacks, fuel shortages, pandemics, geomagnetic reversal, etc. Many people are preparing for these scenarios of which they are concerned. It is estimated in the United States of America, approximately ten percent of the population are Preppers to one degree or another. No one knows if or when, one or more problems will occur. There is no way to predict a specific occurrence or time factor, and my crystal ball broke, so I cannot help with your prognostication. The best we can do is to be prepared for any eventuality. This is why I personally (and many others) believe an underground concrete bunker is the best idea. As I will explain, this Bunker will give you the best protection possible for the most scenarios. One need not be a conspiracy theorist to be concerned. People may think "Doomsday Preppers", or "What Iffers", as we are often called, are "nut jobs." However, when TSHTF, we will be the ones who others will come to, since we will be prepared. Common Design Flaws Some of the problems I have seen with bunker designs are: There is not enough food storage There is not enough water storage The bunker is not deep enough underground to protect from radiation or chemical contamination The bunker is not designed to be able to withstand the amount of pressure from the tonnage of dirt above The air circulation is not adequate The air is not adequately filtered for NBC (Nuclear, Biological, Chemical) contamination The water is not sufficiently filtered There are no accommodations for pets. There is no accommodation (or insufficient accommodation) for waste and elimination. Bunkers are too crowded and claustrophobic for long term occupancy. Security is woefully inadequate. There is no adequate plan for replenishing the water There is no adequate plan for replenishing the food Steel shipping containers do not supply the protection needed, nor are they able to be buried deep enough underground for adequate protection. There is no escape plan There is no second exit What about electricity? No plan for backups No bug-out kits prepared No drills planned Occupants are not knowledgeable about nuclear protection. In my design, I have tried to counter these challenges and make a Bunker that is workable, livable for the long term, comfortable and realistic. Jewish People: There are many Jewish people who are also preppers.In the book, I have included much information that is specific for Jews.

"In an atomic war, blast, heat, and initial radiation could kill millions close to ground zero of nuclear bursts. Many more millions-everybody else-could be threatened by radioactive fallout. But most of these could be saved. The purpose of this booklet is to show how to escape death from fallout. Everyone, even those far from a likely target, would need shelter from fallout. Your Federal Government has a shelter policy based on the knowledge that most of those beyond the range of blast and heat will survive if they have adequate protection from fallout." -Author's description.

People have been talking about some sort of "End of the World" scenario, for decades.

Some people worry about different possible scenarios. For example; economic collapse, societal collapse, civil unrest, electromagnetic pulse, weather destruction, war, fire, nuclear attacks, terrorist attacks, fuel shortages, pandemics, geomagnetic reversal, etc. Sixty-one percent of Americans believe some sort of doomsday will happen within the next twenty years. Sixty percent of Americans believe there will be economic collapse within the next fifteen years. Many people are preparing for the scenarios of which they are concerned. It is estimated in the United States of America, approximately ten percent of the population are preppers to one degree or another. No one knows if or when, one or more calamities will occur. There is no way to predict a specific occurrence or time factor, and my crystal ball broke, so I cannot help with your prognostication. The best we can do is to prepare for any eventuality. This is why I personally (and many others) believe a concrete bunker is the best idea. Some people are planning for an aboveground bunker and some are interested in an underground bunker. In this book, we are going to be discussing both in great detail. As I will explain, this type of bunker will give you the best protection possible for the most scenarios. One need not be a conspiracy theorist to be apprehensive. People may think "Doomsday preppers", or "What ifers", as we are often called, are "Nut jobs." However, when TSHTF, we will be the ones who others will come to, since we will be the ones who are prepared.

Above ground bomb shelters and bunkers are possible. You need an air filtration and a positive pressure system. Nuclear fallout typically consists of particles of a pretty large size that can be filtered out via pretty conventional means of HEPA filters and other off the shelf industrial air filtration devices. And it is not uncommon even for the military to build bomb/fallout shelters more or less above ground. Even in the worst case scenario you are unlikely to need to spend more than a couple weeks in a shelter before it becomes relatively safe outside. Radiation from a nuclear bomb tends to go away rather quickly as the more dangerous shorter lived radioisotopes expire.
