Exodus 12:1-4 (5-10) 11-14
During the height of the Cold War, many families took it upon themselves to build fallout shelters in the event that the Soviet Union would attack the United States with nuclear weapons. Many fallout shelters were underground or in basements with thick layers of dirt to protect occupants from radiation. Interest in fallout shelters has lessened since the end of the Cold War, but many of them are still in place today.
