This is not refighting the Cold War but adapting proven tools to the threat ofglobal terrorism and the spread of nuclear weapons to those who promise to usethem if they get them.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS), under the Metropolitan Medical
Response System (MMRS) established a three-phased program against attackwith Biological and Chemical agents and Nuclear/Radiological attack.
MMRS requires _________ to be capable to respond to an attack, postulating asmall-yield (10 KT) weapon, and/or a Radiological Dispersion Device (RDD;incorrectly called Dirty Bomb) that produces:
- 7,500 immediate deaths- 25,000 contaminated victims (10,000 acute & 15,000 moderate)- 100,000 displaced persons
Having and using Fallout Shelters would minimize these casualties.

Nuclear Attack in the 21st Century
A nuclear attack may:
be only on selected targets such as military bases with offensive weapons.
be a single up to a few dozen detonations on specific or random targets.
be on armed forces outside the United States, e.g. the far East; the Mid East; Europe;
the Balkans; naval forces at sea or air battles. be an act of by a non-state, i.e. a terrorist group such as Al Qaeda.
be threatened to bring about a military or political result or to bend the will of the people.
involve a detonation (fission/fusion) or release via an RDD
involve nations or armed forces other than the United States.
occur all in one attackor recur over weeks, months, even years.

Protective Options
Evacuation
Feasible if completed before fallout/contamination arrives.
Area would have to be small and time adequate.
Detonation effects (blast/thermal/EMP) may impede evacuation.
Evacuees may be exposed and/or contaminated.
Shelter In Place
Critical facilities that can not evacuate, e.g., hospitals, must continue to operate.
Necessary if fallout/contamination will arrive before evacuation complete
Fallout Shelters needed to protect against high level radiation/detonation. Shelter-in-place (not necessarily Fallout Shelter) near RDD/very low level.
Shelter stay would range from a few days to 2 weeks.
Authorities outside affected area can organize rescue/evacuation effort.
Shelterees may be exposed and/or contaminated.

Fallout Shelter Program Overview
Fallout Shelters protect against radiation based on the size, mass andlocation or site of the building and its surroundings.
Fallout Sheltersare not intendedto protect against other (blast, heat)
effects of a nuclear detonation, explosions or Chemical & Biological Agents.
Such a capabilitymay exist in a building due to its size, mass & location.
Fallout Sheltersare not intendedfor use after use of a RDD (but may be).
Contamination from a RDD can be expected to cover a few up to a few
hundred acres with low-level radioactive material;
A nuclear detonation may affect large areas (10-100 sq. miles) damaged by
direct effects and 100s to 1,000s of sq. miles withradioactive fallout.

Act with authority
Delegate authority
Organize people into task teams to meet needs Refrain from personal over involvement with shelterees.
Establish priorities
Set a schedule
Be an example of model behavior
Recognize the changing needs of the shelterees Keep people informed

Routine A daily living pattern exists along with training &
preparation for post-shelter living
Emergence The period from when preparations are complete and
it is safe to exit to begin work of reconstruction until
people can leave shelter permanently.

The Shelter Mangers Responsibilities
in Radiological Protection1. Have the Radiological Monitor (RM) locate, by use of monitoring
instruments, the best protected areas in the shelter.
2. Keep the people in the shelter until outside radiation rates are low enough
to leave safely.
3. Keep the shelter, people and supplies from being contaminated.
If no RM or instruments present, use areas with most shielding & distance.

Understanding Radiation &
Radioactivity Elements are substances that can not be broken down into simpler substances
by chemical means.
There are 116 elements; each has unique properties.
An atom is the simplest unit an element can be divided into and still keeps itsunique properties.
Atoms which emit ionizing radiation are said to beradioactive.
Ionizing radiation produces charged particles, ions, in anything it strikes. Itdamages molecules in both living cells and inanimate mater.
Radiation refers to all sources of energy emissions, such as visible light, radioand sound waves as well as ionizing radiation.

Natural Radioactivity in a Banana
Bananas are a good source of potassium, a very important nutrient. Allnatural potassium contains 0.0117% potassium-40 (40K) which is a
radioactive isotope of potassium. A medium size banana contains
about 451 mg of potassium. The amount of40K contained in a banana
is 0.0528 mg. This is equivalent to 14 DPS or 0.00037 uCi. The dose
equivalent, if a banana is eaten, is about 0.01 mREM. Sometimes, this
is called the banana equivalent dose.

Principles of Protection
Time Fallout radiation intensity decays rapidly;90% in just the first 7
hours.
The less time you spend in a radiation field, the less dose received.
Distance The farther you are from a source, the less dose you receive.
Shielding Denser (heavier, massive) materials absorb more radiation.
Greater thickness of any given material absorbs more radiation.

Outside radiation, divided by the Protection Factor, is reduced in proportion.
For example, if the outside radiation rate is 1,000 R/hr, a person shielded by 3 ft.

Applying the 7/10 Rule
For every 7-fold increase in Time, Fallout intensity decreases 10-fold.
Examples: It takes fallout 4 hours (H+5) to reach you and maximum reading in the
shelter with a PF of 55 at H+5 is 35 R/Hr.
What will the inside and outside rates be in 7 hours?
In 10 days, 5 hours (H+245 or 5x7x7)?
If time of detonation is unknown, plot readings for several hours, then extrapolate
forward.

Answers: Applying the 7/10 Rule
For every 7-fold increase in Time, Fallout intensity decreases 10-fold.
Examples: It takes fallout 4 hours (H+5) to reach you and maximum reading in the
shelter with a PF of 55 at H+5 is 35 R/Hr.
What will the inside and outside rates be in 7 hours?In 7 hours, rate decays 90%. 35 x .10= 3.5 R/hr.
Outside rate would be Inside Rate x PF; 3.5 R/hr x 55 = 193 R/hr
In 10 days, 5 hours (H+245 or 5x7x7)?
Inside rate of 35 R/hr goes through two 90% decay cycles. 35x.10x.10= 0.35R/hr.
Outside; 0.35 R/hr x 55 = 19 R/hr
If time of detonation is unknown, plot readings for several hours, then extrapolate
forward.

Federal Fallout Shelter Standards
To meet federal standards, a public Fallout Shelter must have:
10 sq. ft./person with a 3 cfm/person ventilation rate, or
500 cu. ft./ person if unventilated.
A Fallout Protection Factor, FPF, of 10 or more and
A capacity of 50 persons ormore.
Other, best available (but still federally approved) shelters must offer:
The same area/volume & FPF characteristics,
A capacity less than 50 persons.

The Radiological Monitors Job
The Radiological Monitor, RM, surveys the shelter and reports his
findings to the Shelter Manager, SM, to:
Locate the best protected areas of the shelter (highest FPF)
Record the total accumulated dose of the shelter population.
Advise the SM how to rotate shelterees between different areas to
equalize exposure to radiation and accumulated doses.
Set time limits for those working outside the shelter (Exposure Control.)

Outdoor activities more than a few minutes long may result in sickness ordeath. The only occasions which might justify this are: (1) risk of death orserious injury in present shelter from fire or collapse, or (2) present shelter isgreatly inadequate-may result in fatalities-and better shelter is only a fewminutes away.
10-100R/hr Time outside shelter should be held to a few minutes and limited to the mostessential tasks that cannot be postponed for at least one more day. All peopleshould stay in the best protected area no matter how uncomfortable.
2-10 R/hr Very short periods (less than 1 hour per day) outdoors are tolerable for themost essential purposes. Rotate outdoor tasks among shelterees to minimizeexposure.
0.5-2 R/hr Outdoor activity up to a few hours a day is tolerable for essential purposes.Eating, sleeping and all other activities should be done in the best protectedarea.
Less than0.5 R/hr
No special precautions except to sleep in the shelter.

Upgrading Fallout Protection
How much dirt is needed? Is it practical?
A shelter to be upgraded is a single story high and 200 x 200 in size. It has a 6wide double door in front and a 3 wide single door in back.
Dirt is to be piled 12 high on the roof & 6 high; 6 wide at base sloping evenly upto the 6 mark around the exterior except at the doors.
Roof : calculate volume as 200 x 200 x 1 = 4,000 cu ft of dirt
Sides: calculate volume using area of triangle x liner feet
6 x 6 x .5 = 18 cu ft per linear foot
200 + 200 + 200+ 200 9 = 791 linear feet.
18 x 791 = 14,238 cu ft
Total volume needed = 18, 238 cu ft or 676 cu yds (56 dump trucks @ 12 cu yd)
Other materials needed: plywood to cover 22 windows & 225 support posts.

Pets should be excluded from the shelter area for sanitation & safety
reasonsBUTmay be put in non-shelter areas of the building. Care &
feeding is up to the owners. Alternate: leave pets in cars.
Encourage the donation of personal items if they help achieve the goal
of group survival. Even drugs, alcohol and weapons can be viewed
positively as survival supplies rather than as dangerous or personal
possessions.

This plan must be presented to and accepted by the shelterees!
TheAdvisory Group is the key to success. The Advisory Group, made up of
mature, grounded individuals selected from the Community Groups, can be afocus of feedback from the Community Groups - and a source of informationto the groups. The Advisory Group can exert calm, purpose, leadership,persuasion, morale building & moral authority, etc. to support the Manger.

The Importance of Social Control
The Shelter Plan evokes confidence & a sense of security among
shelterees by assuring them the highest standards of society willgovern their stay.
It also makes the future somewhat predictable by showing what they
must do to increase their chances of survival.

Developing Shelter Rules
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
109/176
p g
1. Develop rules early, in advance of a problem.
Proactive is much better than reactive.
2. Some rules may be elective, others prescribed.
3. Determine if a rule fulfills its intended purpose.
4. Coordinate rules so they don't conflict.
5. Make only necessary rules. If it aint broke . . .
2.L.2
Maintaining Order in the Shelter
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
110/176
g
Identify and respond to potential problems before a rule is broken.
Evaluate the seriousness of a rule violation.
Corrective action should be in proportion to the offense.
Reproof Physical Restraint .
Counsel Arrest
Make clear you are concerned with group survival, not punishing
one individual.
Violent responses or expulsion from the Shelter arenot recommended.
If restraint is warranted, wrap person in sheets & bind with belts, rope, etc.
and set a 24/7 watch on him/them in a isolated, secure area.

The Shelter Schedule
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
111/176
The schedule should be developed by your core management staff as soon as
possible after Entry.
Guidelines:
1. Limit activities to an hour or less because of reduced attention span & fatigue.
2. Spread activities throughout the day for variety.
3. Schedule training when shelterees are most alert.
4. Allow daytime nap & rest periods.
5. Provide several snack breaks.

a Shelter
One average size male produces 70,000 calories/hour or 288 BTU/hr at rest.
One hundred average-size males can produce 28,800+ BTU/hr.
The output of the average home heating system is 30-40,000 BTU/hr.
In a shelter, people are allotted space at the rate of 10 sq. ft/person; 100
people in 1,000 sq. ft. Imagine the constant heat output of the average
house in 1/2 its volume!

Federal Fallout Shelter Standards for ventilation = 3 cfm/person ventilationrate, or 500 cu. ft./ person if unventilated.
Higher than optimum Effective Temperature can lower shelter capacity to
the number of shelterees that do not produce excess temperatures.
Lower than optimum ventilation can lower shelter capacity to the number
of shelterees that dont exceed O2 or CO2 imbalance.
If you must reduce the number of people in your shelter, where
will you send them?

Three goals of the shelter manager:
1. Control the use & distribution of water.2. Secure & make drinkable alternate water sources3. Control water consumption.
1 Quart of water/day/person is the recommended ration.
This is below what people normally need but is acceptable as anaustere ration when:
Temperature and humidity are close to optimum, Physical activity is restricted,
Salty or protein rich foods are eliminated, and Disease/injury that increase the need for water are absent.

8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
128/176
Water is essential for life. When deprived of water, the physical damage
to the body becomes irreversible; after 4 or 5 days without, water willnot help a person recover.
Symptoms of water deprivation are:
1. Impaired mental function,
2. Confusion, and
3. Hallucination
3.B 1-2A
Water - an Essential Need
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
129/176
Trips outside the shelter to get water before radiation levels are safe
must be considered.
Control of shelterees may be difficult if the water ration is very low orif they feel distribution is unfair or unwise.
Sources of Water:
1. Containers issued during Increased Readiness.2. Water system of the shelter building.3. Juice in canned foods.4. Water mains, fire hydrants, wells, streams, ponds, etc.
The water may have to be purified, filtered or decontaminated forbiological organisms & hazardous chemicals. Fallout is nearlyinsoluble in water & is easily filtered out with, e.g., a towel.
Water Rationing
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic

Food may be stocked during Increased Readiness from commercial
suppliers.
Food may be brought by people entering the shelter.
Some food may already be in the shelter building.
Rationing may be required; ashelter census, an inventory and the
estimated length of shelter stay are necessary.
Hold some food in reserve for the unexpected: spoilage, overcrowding
or a longer than expected stay.
Food Rationing
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
138/176
An equal portion for all is again generally best. The same exceptions
in water rationing may apply.

Medical Supplies
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
146/176
Some shelters will have First Aid supplies already there.
Some supplies, such as bandages, can be improvised.
Some shelterees, such as diabetics, can be expected to bring their own
medicines and may share them.
First Aid supplies may be distributed in Increased Readiness.
3.GI4B
Managing Medical Supplies
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
147/176
Medical supplies should be controlled and distributed by one specific
member of the Medical Team.
Keep medicines under a 24-hour watch; keep a running inventory.
Give only the immediate dosage.See that all medicines are taken on the
spot, in the presence of the Medical Team.
Record each patient's medication in the Medical Log.
3.GI4C
Medical Staff
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic

3.GI4D
Medical Operations
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
149/176
A separate "sickbay" should be created and isolated from the Medical Team
examination, diagnosis & treatment area.
This isolated sickbay:1. Allows easier & better care.2. Reduces the spread of contagious diseases.3. Reduces the demoralizing effect of sickness on the rest of the shelterees.
A system for detection & diagnosis should be instituted:1. At entry; screen shelterees by trained medical staff as available.2. After entry; sick persons report to the examination & treatment area.3. Daily; at a scheduled Sick Call.4. Daily; with medical rounds throughout the shelter medical continued.
3.GI4E
Medical Priorities
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
150/176
Treat all shelterees who have medical problems. But, if there are not
supplies or medical staff to give everyone attention, then the ShelterManager must establish a system of priorities...
Such a system of priority treatment already exists and can be adapted to the
fallout shelter. The system is called Triage(French "to Sort).
Triage categories, in order of treatment priority, are suggested:
Immediate Immediate treatment will save life.
Delayed Non-life threatening injury; treatment can wait.
Expectant Mortally wounded; treatment will not succeed.
Dead Set aside until burial/disposal can be arranged.
3.G 2-13A

Three goals of the Shelter Manager are:
1. Insure as many portable auxiliary lighting devices are brought into the
shelter at entry as possible.
2. Control the use of emergency power should normal power fail.
3. Provide sufficient light in each different shelter area for each particular
shelter task.
Sources of Emergency Lighting

The SM's Role in Evaluating Messages
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
160/176
The Shelter Manager must evaluate all incoming messages & decide whenand how to pass the information on to the shelterees.
The Shelter Manger probably will not have a monopoly on all information
coming into the shelter if cell phones or radio/TV service exists. Shelter
Manager will get information from EOC to enable him to counter rumors &false reports.
Information available to the Shelter Manager pertaining to shelter living,
even if incomplete, should not be withheld. Only technical or other
incidental data should not be relayed.
3.I
Communicating With the ShelterPopulation
-
8/4/2019 Fallout Shelter Management Course - Public Shelters Jan 2007 Generic
161/176
Entry: Tell people where to go in the shelter, what to do and reassurethem about its protective capability. Traffic Assistants and/or
early briefings can accomplish this.
Routine: Hold regular briefings, at least once a day, to update shelterees.
Relay emergency information or that requiringimmediate action at once.
Use a prearranged signal (e.g. whistle) to get attention.
For routine messages, use the chain of command & group sessions.
Emergence: Continue briefings: emphasize the importance of returning tothe shelter to eat & sleep, etc., until it is safe to leave permanently.
