A to Z: F is for Fallout

For this year's A to Z Blogging Challenge I'm featuring books that I'd like to read!

F is for: Fallout by Todd Strasser


What if the bomb had actually been dropped? In the summer of 1962, the possibility of nuclear war is all anyone talks about, so Scott's dad builds a bomb shelter to hold his family and stocks it with just enough supplies to keep the four of them alive for two critical weeks. In the middle of the night in late October, when the unthinkable happens, the same neighbors who scoffed at building a shelter themselves force their way into the shelter before Scott's dad can shut the door.Internationally best-selling author Todd Strasser has written his most impressive and personal novel to date, exploring the terrifying what-ifs of one of the most explosive moments in human history.

This makes me think of the story of Noah, building the boat for a disaster no one thinks will happen. Have you ever planned for disaster (maybe not to this extent, but water and supplies in the basement, practiced escape route if fire, etc.)?
