  • My grandparents also had a photo of President Nixon - in their fallout shelter.

  • Civil Defense has been invaluable in dealing with natural disasters. And the home fallout shelter has also been useful as a storm shelter in tornado-prone areas of the country.

  • The booklet is good old DCPA/FEMA H-14, probably the best single text ever produced on the topic of civil defense -- in terms of both its content and its artistic and cultural significance. The illustrations alone -- done in a Klee-like "sensitive line" style -- are worth the price of admission. Every home should have a copy.

  • This and another recent video have very low audio levels. Any way you can normalize the audio?
