These would have likely shown survivors that the world to which they planned to return had been badly poisoned. Radiation detection kits were provided for every 50-1,000 shelter spaces and included radiometers (which measured radiation levels) and dosimeters (which measured accumulated radiation doses over time). Medical supply kits typically contained such first aid supplies as aspirin, laxatives, antacid, isopropyl alcohol, penicillin, surgical soap, water purification tablets, petrolatum, bandages, gauze and a thermometer. They were meant to serve as the initial chemical toilet until the water drums were emptied and became available. Sanitation kits consisted of 22-inch-tall fiberboard drums, which contained plastic cups, toilet paper, sanitary napkins, toilet chemical packets, waterless hand-cleaning solution, plastic toilet liner bags and plastic gloves. The survival ration was 700 calories per person per day for two weeks. The steel containers were to be used as chemical toilets after the water was consumed.įood came in the form of tins of crackers, biscuits, bulgur wafers and carbohydrate supplement (hard candy). The survival ration was one quart of water per person per day for two weeks. Water came in 24-inch tall, 17.5-gallon steel containers. A fully stocked fallout shelter in the 1960s would have included the following: (I guess nobody figured the blast could break windows.) It was judged sturdy enough to hold people throughout its levels. The Bon Marche building had the largest capacity of all: 17,998. The shelter in the Zukor Building on Riverside could hold just 31 survivors. Though every sturdy brick or concrete structure with a basement in this town is suspect, the map tells you exactly where they were located and gives you their occupancy levels. My search for fallout shelter evidence began with a map I picked up at a garage sale - the 1969 edition of Spokane County's Community Shelter Plan. My current obsession with fallout shelters was ignited by the sight of a faded shelter sign on the exterior of a medical building near Sacred Heart Hospital.
Whether it's speakeasies, steam tunnels or cult films, I very much like it in the dark.
