Mine Utilization in Crises - Planning Manual.
Abstract
This document provides guidance to planners on the use of underground mines as fallout shelters. The guidance is based on the assumptions that only locally available materials, equipment and manpower will be available and that 72 hours will be available for accomplishing the required upgrading of the habitability of the mines. Guidance is provided for installing or upgrading the lighting, ventilation, water supply, and sanitary systems in the mines. The guidance for lighting and ventilation improvements is based on previously conducted experimental studies, and the guidance in water and sanitation is based on information from existing literature concerning such emergency systems and minimum human requirements. Example utilization plans are included to illustrate the use of the guidance manual. (Author)
