How your family can survive a nuclear attack

It further explains the role of local community shelters for civil defense. And, gives clear examples of how home shelters can be improvised. While rather old all of this infomation is still correct and valid...important as a mad man in North Korea could now be targeting the American continent for missile attack, or in case of a nuclear accident that forces you to 'shelter in place'.
