Thanks for the ping. I have a half baked plan, because Hubby won’t fortify the corner of the basement we had originally decided would be a good area to use many years ago.
Never got around to spending the money to do it. We have 3 walls of the required depth needed for protection -concrete and dirt combo.
All that is needed is two short concrete walls of about 8 foot each to form the entry - like they do for locker rooms so that no actual door is needed, and the concrete or bricks overhead - and some provision for negative airflow that can be accomplished with battery operated fans as a jerry rigged deal.
I already have most of the no cooking food on hand for 8 adults and 4 children - That’s our kids, grandkids, great grand kids, significant others and 2 potential significant others, just in case the currently single become attached again. LOL
I was doing some research this week and just ran across this document. I haven’t had a chance to read through it all, but it has a pretty darn decent plan at the end for nuclear incident.
It might even be worth another ping. Here’s the link. It is the LDS Preparedness Manual:

Also, here’s a video by Wendy Dewitt on food storage and she has some very good tips. She’s the one that got me started canning meats, back when I ran across her video several years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oh4HDzUk9Ww
Just a side note - LDS no longer has the one month kits. A shame, since that was really easy way to get the basics.
