Several readers mentioned this: Fallout shelters for a new generation. I’m reserving any judgment on this particular venture (since it is only in its early stage of what has been promised). But I must say that in general I’m opposed to getting involved in large commercial shelter projects. For around $35,000, you can construct your own fully-stocked in-home underground shelter with a blast door and HEPA air filtration for a family of five. Why spend more for just one shelter space in a distant locale, and in a shelter that belongs to someone else? And what are the chances that you’ll actually get there, when the balloon goes up? My advice has always been: relocate and establish a self-sufficient retreat, and live there year-round! Among other things, that eliminates the “Get Out of Dodge” timing worries.
