HomeMy WebLinkAboutFallout Shelter License Form and Example FACT SHEET CONCERNING THE FALLOUT SHELTER LICENSE FORM I. PURPOSE OF LICENSE: The obtaining of a large percentage of signed license forms from building owners whose structures offer fallout protection is vital in providing local citizens with fallout protection, in our future planning and to the success of the National Shelter Program. A completed license joins individual citizens, local, State and Federal governments in a common effort of National defense in keeping with the Federal Civil Defense Act of 1950. This Act places the responsibility for Civil Defense upon all elements of government. Coordinated effort, in cooperation with private citizens, is essential to an effective civil defense program. II. PARTIES TO THE LICENSE: A. For the Shelter Building: The owner or person otherwise authorized to grant such license or privilege. B. For the Local Government: A local official (usually Mayor, City Manager or Civil Defense Direc- tor) who is legally empowered to sign for the political subdivision. C. For the Federal Government: Steuart L. Pittman, Assistant Secretary of Defense, Civil Defense. III. GENERAL TERMS OF LICENSE: (for exact terms see License Form Text) A. Building owners: 1. Allow use of the basements, corridors, other common use areas or other areas of the building or structure as specifically indi- cated by building owner, which offer protection from radioactive fallout, for use by local government as public fallout shelter in the event of enemy attack. 2. Allow the affixing of appropriate signs designating shelter areas. 3. Allow for the placement of a minimum amount of shelter supplies within the designated shelter area (estimated requirement-- approximately one and a half cubic foot per person sheltered. Actual floor space required will vary slightly depending upon arrangement of store room, ceiling height, etc.). -2- 4. Allow, during reasonable periods when the premises are open for business, authorized civil defense officials the right to inspect the shelter area including supplies stored therein. 5. Owner may revoke the license or privilege by ninety (90) day written notice to the political subdivision and Federal govern- ment sentby registered mail. B. Local Government: 1. Contacts building owner or authorized representative for purpose of executing license or privilege form. 2. Places within the designated shelter area, Federally procured shelter supplies. Accepts title to such supplies and gives them the same reasonable care and maintenance as that afforded to other focal government property. 3. Prepares local government plans for use of such shelter space in the event of national emergency. C. Federal Government: 1. Through private architectural and engineering firms, surveys structure to determine area within the building offering suit- able fallout protection. 2. Provides and affixes appropriate shelter signs to designated shelter areas. 3. Provides to local government minimum shelter supplies necessary for sustaining shelter occupants for the period immediately before and shortly after an enemy attack. IV. LIABILITY: A. For Shelter Supplies: The license or privilege form specifies that, "It is expressly under- stood that the Grantor shall have no responsibility or liability for the care, protection or maintenance of the shelter stocks, willful damage or bad faith excepted." B. To Persons Occupying Shelter: Section 7 of Texas Civil Protection Act of 1951. C. Liability Insurance: Annex G. DOD /OCD National Fallout Shelter Survey, Marking and Stock- ing Program document dated February 15, 1962, refers to this subject. -3- V. USE OF SPACE: A. The license or privilege specifies that the designated shelter space is to be used for the sole purpose of temporarily sheltering persons during and after any and every actual or impending attack. It does not provide for use of designated shelter space during test exercises or tornado or other natural disasters. The use of such space for any test exercises would be a matter of arrangement between the local government and the building owners. B. The license or privilege form stipulates the use of basements, corri- dors, and other common areas of the building or structure which are determined by survey to offer protection from fallout and are suitable for shelter purposes. As the license form is executed before the final results of the survey are known, it is not certain that a structure will have suitable shelter space. Supplies will be stocked and shel- ters marked only in buildings found to offer suitable shelter space. Also, the exact shelter areas or numbers of shelter spaces within a structure cannot be determined until after detailed computations are completed. C. If the building owner wishes to grant a license for space within the structure other than that specified in Paragraph I. A. of the License or Privilege (basements, corridors, and other common areas) a descrip- tion of such area may be inserted in the blank space in the middle of the license or privilege form. This space may also be used for limit- ing areas within the structure covered by the survey. D. Designated shelter space is to be used during attack by the public, in accordance with the local emergency plan. The public, of course, in- cludes building occupants, customers, and others in the immediate area. VI. COMPLETION OF FORM: A. Upon receipt by the building owner, the license form will already be signed by authorized representatives of the Federal and local govern- ment. It remains only for the owner or person otherwise authorized to sign three copies in the blank space labeled " Grantor(s)," provide the signature of two witnesses and enter the date of signature in the appropriate space. No formal "Seal" other than the Grantcr(s) signa- ture is required. B. Grantor(s) signature on all copies may be imprinted by rubber stamp or by using carbon paper if so desired. Owner should retain one copy for his files. C. The text of the license or privilege form cannot be modified in any manner. There is a blank space in the middle of the form for spe- cifically identifying areas within the structure to be covered by the license or privilege if such insertion is desired by the Grantor, under the conditions outlined in Paragraph V. C. above -4- D. It is desired that a separate license be executed for each structure under consideration. However, if an owner desires to use a single license form for a number of his buildings, this is permissible, pro- vided the required information is attached to the license and the license itself indicates that this is an attachment. VII. GENERAL: A. Minimum Requirements for Fallout Shelter Space: 1. Offer a protection factor of 100 or above (inside radiation intensity is 1/100 of outside intensity.) 2. A minimum capacity of 50 persons. 3. Space of 10 square feet per person with adequate ventilation » 500 cubic feet per person without ventilation. 4. Storage space is indicated under Paragraph III. A. 3. B. Shelter Supplies: (A more detailed description can be provided by the local civil defense director, Annex E to February 15, 1962, document.) 1. 10,000 calorie food supply per person sheltered. 2. Water containers for a fourteen day supply based on one quart per day per person sheltered. 3. Radiological measuring instrument and minimum medical supplies. 4. Minimum sanitary facilities and supplies. FALLOUT SHELTER LICENSE OR PRIVILEGE I SEE INSTRUCTIONS ON R$VERSE SIDE . WHEREAS, The President of the United States has un- B.
