Created in the 1950s this film "Public Shelter Supplies" shows the type of fallout shelter provided by the U.S. Government as part of the Civil Defense system. The shelter shown as an example includes medical supplies, food and water and sanitary supplies for fifty people for a week to ten days. The film encourages communities to augment the supplies provided by the government with additional items such as cots, chairs, books (including Bibles), fire extinguishers, and so on.
