FIRE HAZARD TO FALLOUT SHELTER OCCUPANTS: A CLASSIFICATION GUIDE

Abstract

This classification guide was prepared for the use of architects and engineers. The guide was field-tested by several architects and a consulting engineer. Trial surveys were made at existing designated shelters in buildings of varied construction, occupancy, and age, in relatively congested areas. The guide was found to be simple and easy to use. Consistent results were obtained.
