Feasibility and Cost Analysis of Surge Period Shelter Programs.

Abstract

Protection of the civilian population from the effects of a nuclear attack is one of the goals of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In-place population protection and protection by relocation are two distinct types of civilian protection plans that are used. The in-place plans demand direct effects protection for the entire risk area population, while in the latter case only a skeleton work force needs to be protected. This report describes the investigation into the feasibility and costs of providing all-effects shelters in risk areas for an in-place shelter plan as well as a population relocation plan.
