Fallout Shelter Virtual Tours
Featured in this section are a series of "walk through" virtual tours of different types of shelters.

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a government emergency relocation shelter. EOCs are still used as central communications centers during emergencies. Some of the EOCs in use today are the original facilities built in the Cold War era.

The Old Dallas EOC in this section is a specially built blast/fallout shelter located under the Science Place at Fair Park in Dallas. This EOC is no longer in use by the City of Dallas.

The Old Grand Prairie EOC
in this section is a specially built fallout shelter located behind the old Police Station in Grand Prairie Texas. This EOC is no longer in use and is in pretty bad shape. It had about 10 inches of water in it when I took the photos for the tour.

Virtual Community Fallout Shelter Tours Main Page
Community Fallout Shelters were shelters designated with the standard yellow and black Fallout Shelter sign that was to be used by the public. These shelters were intended for protection from fallout radiation only, and depending upon the type of building they were in, may have offered some blast protection.

The Home Shelter Main Page
I have two virtual tours of home shelters here. One is located in the Dallas area and another is in Massachusetts. The Massachusetts virtual tour photos were sent to me by via e-mail from an individual who found my site and offered me the photos for the tour.
