In this activity you will imagine that it is 1965 and that you are helping your family stock a fallout shelter in case of a nuclear attack. You will need to account for four people spending two weeks in the shelter. An attack will strike in less than 30 minutes after a warning is given, so everything needs to already be in the shelter. Government archive websites might provide helpful information. The Civil Defense Museum website is an excellent resource (www.civildefensemuseum.com).
1) Make a list for each category listed below of items your shelter will require. List at least 4 – 5 items per category.
Water – Include storage methods and a means to purify the water.
Food – Include storage methods and preparation supplies (ex. cans require a can opener).
Sanitation – Assume that there are no water or sewage systems.
Medical – Medicines and first aid supplies
Radiation/Safety Equipment
Miscellaneous/Personal
2) If you could only choose six of the items on your list, what would they be and why?
3). For each of the five items on the list—water, food, sanitation, medical, and radiation/safety equipment—write one consequence if you fail to prepare said item beforehand.
4)Whether man-made or natural, disasters do happen. Are you prepared? Brainstorm with your classmates or teacher and create a short action plan that you could use to assist your family in an emergency. Focus on realistic things you can do. Include the following items in your plan:
• “go” box or bag – If you have to leave home in a hurry, what would you keep in a “go” box? Would you use a backpack, duffel bag, or some other container? Where would you store it?
• at-home emergencies – List items you can collect and store at home for use in case of emergency.
• family rendezvous point – Sometimes family members get separated in an emergency and cannot find one another because communications are down. Decide on two places where your family could meet: one local, and one at least 50 miles away in case of a regional emergency.
A few pamphlets stated, don’t panic, Everything you need to live for a few days. Considering the context of the Cold War, do you feel it would have been worthwhile to construct and stock a fallout shelter? Why or why not?
