Civil Defense Museum
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Fallout Shelter Photographs
Omaha, Nebraska (Date 1968)
Page 1

These photos were taken in Omaha, Nebraska. I have no information on these images except the captions that are on the back of the 8x10 prints. The images are displayed with the captions as they are written on the back of the prints. Any additional comments that I may ad will appear in emphasized text. I have split this series of images onto 3 pages.

Omaha Federal Building

Federal Building Front

CD1241- Federal Building, US Post Office and Courthouse. Its 7521 fallout shelter spaces are stocked for 5492 people.

Guys Looking Up At Sign

CD1248- Fallout shelter sign at the main entrance of the Federal Building, US Post Office, and Courthouse. (17-20 May 1968) I think that this might quite possibly be the greatest picture in the whole CD Museum!

Guys With Supplies

CD1243- Mr. Sam Garithers, General Services Administration Acting Building Manager, and Mr. Leonard Ostings, US Army Corps of Engineers Assistant Building Warden, examine water containers in basement fallout shelter in the Federal Building, US Post Office and Courthouse. (17-20 May 1968)

Tons Of Shelter Food

CD1245- Cartons of OCD emergency food stored in basement fallout shelter of Federal Building, US Post Office and Courthouse. (17-20 May 1968) Wow! Talk about a wall of crackers!

Tons Of Shelter Supplies

CD1242- OCD fallout shelter containers stored in the basement shelter are of the Federal Building, US Post Office and Courthouse. (17-20 May 1968) Notice the dozens of Sanitation Kits in the back corner. Hey! More sloppy shelter stocking! Look at those dented barrels!
