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.

It's a little late now, but that two way radio is a rare DeWald Model 1050 CB radio. It was only made from 1961 to 1963, so this film cannot be earlier than 1961, and it's likely to be between 1962 and 1965. It's definitely not a 1950's film. Just saw the end if the film. The copyright date is 1963, so that settles that.
Break 19
They need an amp to out of the mud
Yeah u tell em, I thought that toilet looked 1960ish
It is very important that infants are taken especially good care of, simply because we never know how long we will be required to inhabit the shelter and it is always good to have a back up food supply.
Baby back ribs always make a nice shelter meal.
Pass the salt!
lmao
4:55 Oscar awarded to the most realistic sneeze :)
I love when they start up the gas generator inside with the exhaust just blowing out to the room.
naw-@6:30
Exhaust pipe was connected to greenfield conduit to the outside , look again .
Gas masks are highly desirable
And…where do you get gas after a nuclear bomb is dropped? Of course the power will go out. Oh, and cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco will be in short supply. A week or 10 days? That’s all it takes to disperse nuclear fall out? They make this sound so simple and easy to endure. This is crazy.
@@zoethecat7935 smoking helps … trust me
3:25 "I'd walk a mile in heavy fallout for a Camel."
🎵Crawl out through the fallout, baby
When they drop that bomb
Crawl out through the fallout
With the greatest of aplomb🎵
Thanks, Vault-Tec!
love ones dead, the country gone,and the people are smiling and happy
Everyone was alive when they went in so the primary feeling would be one of nogistalgia for those left behind.
Hahaha 500 r/hr outside but hey still gotta smoke in a small, cramped area
+Nat Mey "Provided that...it does not constitute a health or safety hazard." Yeah, smoking doesn't do that at all...
The *vast* majority of smokers don't get lung cancer. (There are many other diseases, but none so significant as to kill you before your 60s, which is well after your body starts to fall apart anyway.)
Be that as it may, there is stiill a fire hazard, not to mention the possibility of giving someone an asthma attack.
Brian Garrett _fire hazard_
Sand pails.
_the possibility of giving someone an asthma attack._
How did *anyone* play baseball, football, box, swim, or run track with all that smoking???
I'm talking about the close confines of a fallout shelter. I guess the idea is that any hazard beats radiation sickness...
The water is clean, the food is nutritious, and the smokes are mild....😂. Smoke em if ya got em...
Would be a hell of a time to forget your lighter on the coffee table.....
I'm feeling some vault tec vibes.
Back in the 80's we had a family friend who worked for the Civil Defense............. His job? Clean out all the shelters under stores and businesses so they could use the space for their own needs. That is, trash all the supplies. But hell, I got a radiation survey meter out of the deal.
Vault tec calling
Thanks for the 2.7 oz of water. By the way, who determined you are the aqua bartender??
This is a 60’s film. Office of civil defense began in 61.
Yep, the date shown at 12:52 translates to 1963, assuming it is MCMLXIII.
1949 after WW2 and if you want to get technical civil defense was around in WW2 and is still basically around!
I still have the CDV radiation monitoring kit with the CDV-700 Geiger counter for alpha and beta level that the guy is using at 3:22, also the CDV-717 high dose monitor for gamma level, 8 personal dosimeters, and user manuals for monitoring and decontamination. Those were the good old days when most Americans were still patriotic and united against one known enemy.
So, how about a more realistic situation with 50 people, some with severe burns and other major injuries, also a couple of people who die after reaching the shelter?
The shelters were to be locked and sealed before the radiation effect. Shelters were pretty useless close enough to ground zero for direct radiation to kill you, they were intended to shelter people from wind borne radioactive dust. Once the Geiger counters indicated the fallout had arrived, the shelters were sealed and locked. If you got there after being in the fallout for a while, that was too bad for you.

There might also be situations within the shelter where perhaps, grandpa dies, or very difficult triage situations might occur. And some people might lose their minds under stress. Whether that might be from being hunkered down in a bunker for extensive periods of time without "doing something" about their difficult condition in confinement (I could see one of my family members being like this). There would be crying children, one person's dog might fight with another person's cat, and the toilet would smell horrible pretty quickly. And people would all have to tolerate each other and their individual ways of coping with confinement. Someone might be sick with the flu but not be showing symptoms at first. Someone else might need insulin. Someone might need glasses, but theirs are broken, with no way to get replacements. It would be pretty awful.
@@dayaninikhaton, Threads! Wow. What a movie.
Or you could leave the preparation to us in one of our state of the art vaults! Vault-Tec: Prepare for the future!
The Mayor, a friend of mine, spent a fortune on a vault for him and other city leaders. It will probably be able to hold a few hundred people. I'm sure he'll let me in.
Oh boy! I’ll sign up today!
Hmm... I feel like theres a catch... ah well, what could go wrong? sign me up!
Uh I know what you are up to
@@christopherconard2831 Ah. Raven Rock via Embezzlement
Its interesting they mention candles using air supply but not pipes, cigarettes or the generator
Only six rolls of bog paper! For 50 people! 🚽😬
The shelter we had in town had 38 specials and 1903 Springfield which they sent back. Burned the ether , it had crystalized
Your shelter had rifles and pistols? Never heard of any being stocked was that like a private town purchase sorta thing
yeah that's what i want. to live in a basement with 50 strangers...first, we eat all the canned foods. then w eat the empty cans...then we eat the children.. then we eat the radio and the generator. what fun!
a few hunderd more likely, with every body trying to get in.
Didn't you pay attention? You'll only have to stay in the shelter for 7-10 days until it's safe to go outside again. After that it's back home in time for the ice cream social at the local church.
Back then they didn’t know fallout could last for years they thought once it hits you have 1-4 weeks for it to clear
@Daisy Fields So you don't wanna eat any Mexican food.
You forgot: "..and then we eat each other!"
This is blowing my mind I was the age of the kids here..this is what my young parents were served up,
How does it compare with covid fear..?
There was actually a possibility that young people in good health might die from nuclear fallout. That's the difference.
Big difference. Nuclear threat is real.
This is from the 1960s, most likely 1961-1967 period.
1963.
This isn't 1950s, it is 1963. The Roman numerals at the end of the film are MCMLXIII.
Yep, most generation X never learned what Roman numerals are. Just Imagine what millennials learn today.
No XXVl is 1963. Xlll is 1950. Looks like the older generations didnt learn many Roman numerals either.
No XXVl is 1963. Xlll is 1950. Looks like the older generations didnt learn many Roman numerals either.
+CJ POW No, older generation just forgot. LOL
Mr. Geerhart is correct. MCMLXIII is indeed 1963. M=1000, C=100, L=50, X=10, and I=1. CM=900, so MCM is 1900, LX is 60, then the III is 3, so 1963 is the correct year, which was when the push for community fallout shelters was emphasized over the standard bomb shelter.
Posted in 2015. Laughed at right up to 2021. Not funny anymore.
I was on a scout trip and someone brought surplus Civil Defense Carbohydrate Supplements, Fruit Flavored. Best hard candy I ever had.
Close to a Twilight Zone show.

We no longer live in a bipolar world with two superpowers threatening armageddon. There are many nuclear-armed states, likely with more to come, and an exponentially larger number of possible scenarios where a small-ish number of nukes are fired. You might not need a fallout shelter specifically, but people ought to be self sufficient at home for a month or more with all the necessities of life. A single NoK nuke exploded high over international waters off the Western US could lead to massive disruption, to cite one of numerous examples that would not necessarily lead to global nuclear war.
This comment didn't age well...
Very reassuring.
That shelter has plenty of augmented canned goods.
Sardines and Spam with Plochmans Mustard to serve with the government issue hardtack.
OCD (FEMA and DCPA's predecessor) should have mandated an extra 24 to 36 square feet for extra supplies. Civil Defense should have given each shelter housing 50 or more a healthcare professional (nurse/doctor/etc) and an armed officer (yes even then). Today I'd have done that and included a set of Porta Johns with chemicals and a battery bank. Also a small jailhouse module for the baddies. What I still don't get is the lack of particulate filtration and no venting of any combustion from flame or gasoline engines.
They may be useful again in 2022.
Doesn't look like enough toilet paper!!!
Eyy Vault 101
What happens after 2 weeks?
Lol! "Supplies provided by the federal government." This film sure shows it's age.
Well hello 2021.
What have you recommended for me today?
The glass jars on a shelf ledge bothers me , but not bad prep for the time period . We in the 21st can do better , right ?
The number of people panic buying milk and hogging toilet paper suggests otherwise.
They are talking about safety yet, it seems to be ok for everyone else to breath second hand smoke.
Your not worried about second hand smoke if a nuke drops
Conelrad: Broght to you by RJ Reynolds
Do these shelters still exist? Are any of these precautions still being maintained?
None that i would tell you about….😮
The mall by my home, BEFORE it was demolished and rebuilt (Aka before they made a total mistake), was an atomic bomb shelter meant to fit not only my entire town but also neighboring towns. When I was younger, it was their tornado shelter. I remember my grandpa telling me that it used to be a fallout shelter and it had enough supplies to take care of SO MANY people! The towns neighboring mine are large so, there would be a ton of people!! When they demolished the mall, they found all kinds of stuff down in the shelter that was forgotten about and some people thought they sealed it off years before after the nuclear threats subsided! Pretty wild!
Where I live there are three that I know of but none of them are being maintained past making sure they are secure
Medical supplies : iodine , aspirin and bandaids
After awhile I bet it can get pretty funky smelling in one of those with so many people sharing close quarters.
Kids on the floor : EeRRRRRRRRR .ReEREEERREERRR
ADult : SHUT THE HELL UP
Wait till they get into the phenobarbitol - some medical kits included such "special medicines".
The description should be changed from 1950s to1960s. MXMLXIII (1963) is shown at the end of the film (12:49 -->).
Most of the comments here are apparently from people did not live during the 1950's. Most of the items you are demanding did not exist. In 50's they were coming out of WWIi, had very little medical supplies, very little canned or processed foods as we know them. TV was a fairly new invention let alone, cell phones, electric cooking gadgets or computers. This is not supposed a vacation at a resort. It was a place to get away from residue from a nuclear attack. Do you have a place to go? Maybe a million dollar underground bunker.
3.5 gallons of water per person per day, or for the total stay in shelter? Current guideline is 10 gallons per person per day.
For the projected stay of one week to ten days !
Sorry I'm late commenting on this. The US federal government, during the public shelter program, supplied water drums sufficient for each shelter to give each occupant a little over a quart of water per day. Current guidelines recommend at least a gallon per person per day to cover all needs, including both drinking water and water for hygiene and sanitation purposes.
Smoking in a fallout shelter. Very 1950s.
60s
11:34 voiceover "anything to help keep the shelter pleasant" while the little boy puts a truck on his face 😂😂😂
Most of the same supplies that preppers recommend today.
All those people are gonna die when the undead claw through that solid wooden door!
The narrator sounds like Mr Feeny
What about those of who haven't got shelterinis?
How much supply's are provided to a shelter by the Government now days ? :) QC
my guess is that the devastation from todays generation nukes make shelters useless
Actually, the delivery systems are a lot more accurate than they were 30 or 40 years ago, and so the bombs (on both sides) are smaller. No need for a 40 megaton bomb that works by hitting "somewhere" in a city if you can use a 10 megaton bomb and place it precisely.
almost.....let me ask you a question. Because the pay loads are smaller due to better accuracy does that mean there is a better chance of civilians surviving the initial blast.......because the the hits are smaller and more accurate?
inkey2 This isn't a great answer, but-it depends.
If they're striking just active military bases, then probably, because there will be fewer civilians in the area.
But, while the bombs and delivery systems are smaller and more accurate, there are more of them. In an all-out attack, they're probably going to hit all the major, mid-sized, and smaller cities that they can. If you live in Ft. Lauderdale, FL, you're probably going to be a safe distance away from the bomb aimed at downtown Miami-but there's probably another bomb aimed at downtown Ft. Lauderdale.
_if you can use a 10 megaton bomb and place it precisely._
That's still *waaaaay* larger than the actual size of nukes. 150 kiloton (8x Hiroshima) to 800 kiloton have been the "throw weight" sizes for quite a few decades.
Not annoying aww damm that such a shame oh well looks like my brother will have to stay outside (sarcastic FYI)
White Sharon Perez Helen Hernandez Frank
Dumb that they had no real idea how bad it would rellt get
Need shelters now with this administration
Bulls***, fool. Trump never would have nuked his best buddy, Putin.
A _what_ type shelter?
fallout. You go in one end and fall out the other.
Austerity/ it means strict or basic (I presume)
Those weren't cigarettes. ; )
At least it made being locked up with these strangers and whining children not so dreary.
Break out the Monopoly board, I'm the top hat.
Supplies needed for this shelter and others:
1. A 50 inch flatscreen TV placed on the wall next to the shelter door. (Entertainment, radiation monitoring, weather reports)
2. Computer, printer, laptop, charge ports for phones and Ipads. (Computer useful for shelter manager)
3. EMP Shield. (Protects generator, ventilation, plumbing, telecommunications from EMP and power surge)
4. Bathtub and 5 showers.
5. Toilets that flush and recycle water for use in the shelter.
6. Robot assistants like Roomba, R2-D2, C-3PO, WALL-E.
7. Two drones for use outside the shelter to safely monitor radiation levels.
8. Smoke alarms and exit signs.
9. Escape hatches. (In case of building collapse)
10. Excellent ventilation with fallout filters used for stoves and fryers and barbecue pits and ovens.
11. Dishwashers and washing machines that recycle waste water around the shelter for drinking as well as dyers.
12. Trash compactors and incinerators.
Keep Dreaming!!
Don’t forget Mr. Handy for robot assistance.
The occupants don't have to go outside to smoke.....?
Smoking in the bunker.
I’d rather be outside.
At least he's smoking near the fire extinguisher
Doesn't the bald guy look like the same bald guy from Night of The living Dead? You know, the bald guy was already in the basement and didn't want the others down there.....
He wanted everyone down there.
Yes. I was getting serious NOTLD vibes from this.
Stanley Cooper.
When the narrator says that the shelter has the basic needs supplied for by the government but the people are encouraged to bring more, the Liberals and Democrats will have no part of this program.
Bake beans and Spam!! Image 30 of free gas!🤢
They were shooting ⬆️
MCMLXIII is 1963
I'm guessing they gave the restless kid, phenobarbital? haha
The early medical kits did include phenobarbitol, along with penicillin and some other drugs that we would consider prescription-only; the intent, obviously, was to keep emotionally-distressed occupants from becoming a potential threat to others or themselves. Later kits omitted these medicines, as it became clear that qualified medical staff would not be available in all shelters.
I think i would have rather tanken my chances outside wit the radiation than be locked in thatroom with fifty other people, some of whcih woud have been screaming children and crying babies. Also imagine the stench of unwashed bodies as well as when the shit buckets start to overflow.
It appears people in the 1950's were idiots if one goes by this film.
The jerks smoking in a enclosed air restricted area was a tip off but the one item I saw that caused me to post.....
I"d be annoyed by that jerk with the smoking pipe. .. Just saying.
That A/C gasoline generator inside the building that they fired up when the power went out.
Did anyone see proper exhaust ventilation on that generator set? I didnt'.
I guess in the 1950's carbon monoxide was not considered deadly.
+uzibeatle Its there. the flex pipe is covered up from the video time stamp. I agree with you about the carbon monoxide. Even if that exhaust was leak proof, there are still small leaks around that engine. You are also spot on about smoking. Although back then smoking was the norm and chances were they would let people smoke a little bit to ease the stress.
Yup,,, very good point. Remember: "4 out of 5 doctors smoke Camels... ". IMHO I think they would let it slide when the SHTF. It would be a stress reliever.
And yet somehow in those idiotic 1950s the county's population grew by 28M (18%).
uzibeatle Yes. Plus that sanitation corner didn't look complete.
1950's, early '60s, figure about half of the adults smoked. So cramped up with that many people having a nic fit would turn ugly real fast.
Show up with a backpack stuffed with cigarettes and chocolate, and they'd elect you King after the first day.
And be prepared to use deodorant for the last time
Plenty of alcohol and drugs
" the food is nutritious "
First false claim of the film.
" Sanitation facilities are adequate"
Communal shit can will be more dangerous than the fallout
One word Hilarious!.
1960s.
A shotgun would be really handy...for getting rid of smokers and bible thumpers.
yes that is what a crowded space like that needs, rotting cadavers :D.
don't forget liberals.
More likely you would need the shotgun to protect yourself against marauding gangs, robbers, etc.
Smoking 😂😂😂
Guns????????
So much garbage generated and germ spreading . Not to mention the smokers making the air unbreathable
The cigarette smoke probably helped mask the smell of human waste🤢
Lol!
You've got radioactive hell outside the door and this sensitive little hothouse orchid is freaked out at the thought of a cigarette!🙄
@@SuV33358 thats actually a very good point
Don’t be a pussy with the cigarette smoke
Nowadays they would be staring down in their smartphones and tablets.
Thankfully, they wouldn't work well anymore.
If the devices weren't damaged, cellphone service would likely be disrupted by the nuclear blast, or commandeered by government officials. This is one reason I've downloaded books and magazines to my phone. 😉
cigarette smoking - NO! food tins looked few and no #10 or bigger meals? again didn't see and power generators or manual chargers. no crank air filter of at least a co2 filter. MRE BOXES WITH CHEM HEATERS BEST! no glass jars. a disposal exterior pit with interior chute flare to start this pit on fire after a month. several flares should be stocked. where feasible interior tomato or other plants that yield food should be considered.
Don’t like the smoking … feel free to leave
LOL Smoking in a confined space.
Yeah…. And?
I`m getting in the chicken coup with my birds , they know better .
Such propaganda!
Why do you think that ?
