Multi-Hazard Shelter Incentive Programs

Projections of new construction and incentive behavior are made, leading to a preferred program design based on a flat incentive payment scheme. Keywords: All-effects shelter; Fallout shelter; Building construction; Shelter costs; Strategic Defense Initiative; Tax incentives; Protective construction; Disasters; civil defense.
