Study of Crisis Utilization of Small Shelter Space.
Abstract
This study consisted of an investigation into the options available for utilizing small facilities such as local stores, churches, and schools for nuclear fallout shelters in CRP host areas. Technical consideration was given to the provision of lighting, ventilation, water, and sanitary waste disposal systems for small groups of people. The emphasis of this study was on identifying differences in the characteristics of small facilities versus large facilities and determining the influence of these differences on the provision of services. In describing methods for augmenting and/or providing services, the interrelationships among the different systems in a facility were analyzed. Also, an investigation was made of the relationships of group size and occupant density to the provision of services. Factors relating to the effects of group size and occupant density were examined and presented as an aid to the local planner in developing the shelter plan for a particular host area. All of the analyses were made using existing data already collected. Example problems illustrating the planning required to implement life-support systems are included as an appendix. (Author)
