Just to name a few things:
-American schools had bomb shelters and ran regular bomb drills, such protection included crawling under desks or tables and even crouching against walls with hands covering the face
-Families built personal fallout shelters that had heavy doors above ground and small rooms underground. The shelters had pipes with drafts that could be opened or shut to let in fresh air and housed stockpiles of canned food all throughout the 50's in case of emergencies.

Also, the education students recieved in both the US and the USSR would most likley be bias, assuming that thier nation was winnning the arms race.
