A fallout shelter is basically a shelter that you have to live in when there is some sort of nuclear activity going on outside on planet earth. You wait and live in there until there is no sign of nuclear activity or radiation. However, this takes a very long time. It takes about 1,000 years. So bundle up with plenty of food and water because you're going to live there for a LONG time!

Blast shelters are worthless. Fallout shelters may help some, if you are in a fallout plume but it is unlikely you will build it and keep it properly stocked with everything needed - remember you will NOT be able to stock it during an emergency situation.

Check the basements of post offices, schools, and other public buildings in the area at the time. When I was growing up both the post office and the junior high school that I went to had fallout shelters in their basements. They may still have an old weathered "fallout shelter" sign outside. You will have to check yourself, old planning maps in the city archives may help.
