Good modern basement fallout shelter book?

Dub,

What scenario are you attempting to shelter from, and for how long?

I'm thinking if there were strikes on strategic targets in this state, followed by waiting out the return to normal radiation levels. How easy would it be to make do in the average basement pushed into service as a shelter kind of thing.

Not an expert, but what I have seen, proximity is the key. If you are distant, not a big deal. If you are local, then timing will make all the difference. That is if you are exposed, too late. If you are not exposed, you have much better chance of survival.

How dirty is the "dispersal device", wind and rain, all kinds of things mitigate the actual exposure.

From what I remember the best thing you can do with little to no warning is to cover the top of the basement with dirt or sandbags and the seal and if possible zigzag the entrance with sandbags to prevent radiation from entering. How close are you to these targets? Within a certain distance there is not much you can do unless you make a full blown military style bunker.

Repeated purely for applicability in this instance:

Amateurs talk tactics, professionals discuss logistics.

Security, breathing and exhalation, water, food, sanitation, room to exercise, move around, and maintain your sanity, coupled with a fighting start on survival 40 days or more later when it's potentially safe to venture out briefly, are all vastly more important than where and how much dirt and sand to stack up.
It's best conceived as a mission to Mars, rather than simply how to survive the flames of the intial rocket launch.

And as with most disasters, the best planning is to simply not be there when it happens, and/or having a suitable someplace else to which to get.
