Thats pretty useful but I guess most residents in Texas are screwed when it comes to fallout since basements are a rarity here in Texas.

A few thoughts on this: Because of primary strategic and secondary targets along with prevailing winds, Texas actually has a higher survivability rate than one would expect. If you were to plan a residence west of Austin and/or San Antonio, fallout could possibly be within manageable ranges with only an improvised shelter. However, I personally would not want to risk that. A little work with a “jackhammer” and plans for a raised flower garden and courtyard, is more of my line of thinking (LOL). That is, if I make it there......

Thats interesting that the Midwest is the largest danger zone along with California. I would have expected to have seen a little more red in the North East.

Yep everyday those earth bermed homes are looking better and better.

That is because the bulk of the “known or advertised” missile silo's are in the north west and west coast CONUS. They are “primary targets”. Here is a more detailed model:

If you would like a PDF of this manual check out http://www.survivalring.org/cd-downloads.htm

There are also the 1980 updated FEMA shelter plans, as well as a ton of other documents you might find interesting. Enjoy :)
