Air raid protection--what to do in your home. This is not the way to spend the evening, but simply a handy place to go if bombs suddenly start falling nearby. A heavy, sturdy table will not only keep off falling plaster that may be shaken down by a nearby burst, but would even help to support beams if the upper stories should come down. A shelter such as this will give the rescue squads a chance to save you. One precaution: keep that table away from the window

Air raid protection--what to do in your home. This is not the most comfortable place in the world for a refuge, but it has its points. In case of damage to the house, the occupants could get out either through the window at the left or the door at the right. The cellar ceiling is extra braced with iron poles. There is a water supply handy. Take along plenty of magazines, games and other things to help pass the time. A radio is a good idea. Flashlights will be mighty handy if the power goes off. We recommend, however, that this family get a little more out of line from the windows

Air raid protection--what to do in your home. Plan to use one room in the house as refuge room. This should be a room in the lower stories, with as few windows as possible but with more than one exit. A basement is ideal if it has this latter requirement. Plan what you are going to do now. If the siren howls, go quietly to the place you have chosen as a refuge room. Take along plenty of warm clothing
Air raid protection--what to do in your home. If you plan to use the cellar during air raids it is a good idea to put heavy paint on the windows. Flat black paint is best but if you put enough coats of any color on, it will keep the light from coming through. It is also well (and not shown in this picture) to use cardboard to shade the light and keep it from shining directly on the windows; the kind of cardboard that comes in shirts from the laundry is light-proof, but a little heavier kind will keep the glass splinters from flying if there is a nearby burst
Air raid protection--what to do in your home. It is important to make your window lightproof. Emergency window coverings for blackouts do not have to be black in color--just heavy or thick enough to keep light from shining through. Be sure, however, that it is big enough to cover the window with a generous overlap at the sides to prevent an outline of light from showing. It is well to tack the edges down
