Fallout Shelters
In the midst of the Cold War, the U.S. government recommended fallout shelters as a civil defense measure against a nuclear attack. Many were stocked with supplies such as canned food, water storage drums, first-aid kits, and reading or other recreational materials. As part of the Associated Students Health and Welfare Commission, Beta Gamma Chapter members helped equip the fallout shelters on the University of Colorado campus.
