THE FAMILY OCCUPANCY TEST, 4-6 NOVEMBER 1960

Abstract

The USNRDL experimental shelter at Camp Parks, California, was occupied for a period of 48 hours by 99 men, women, and children. Ages of the participants ranged from about 3 months to 68 years. Family size ranged from single persons to a family of seven. All aspects of the shelter environment as well as the actions and response of the shelterers were monitored. Children of all ages appeared to adapt well to shelter conditions, but the importance of careful preparation, organization, and control of activities was demonstrated. This is a preliminary report made in advance of completed analysis of the data.
