A standalone shelter is considered a separate building (i.e., not within or attached to any other building) that is designed and constructed to withstand the range of natural and manmade hazards. |

An ___________________is a specially designed and constructed room or area within or attached to a larger building that is designed and constructed to be structurally independent of the larger building and to withstand the range of natural and manmade hazards. |

Shelters should also be located inside areas known to be flood prone, including areas within the 100-year floodplain. |

|
True |

|
False |
| 7. |
For a standalone shelter, many sites will be constrained or site limited for underground, and an aboveground structure may be the only feasible alternative. For these sites, the siting considerations include: |
|
|
Outside the floodplain |
|
|
Separation distance between buildings and structures to prevent progressive collapse or impact from collapsing elements |
|
|
Separation from major transportation features (road, rail) |
|
|
Access to redundant power and communications capabilities |
|
|
All of the above |

Reinforced concrete is a composite material in which the concrete provides the primary resistance to compression and shear and the steel reinforcement provides the resistance to tension and confines the concrete core. |

A CBR safe room protects its occupants from contaminated air outside it by providing clean, breathable air in some ways: |
|
|
By trapping air inside the room and minimizing the air exchange (an unventilated safe room) |
|
|
By passing contaminated air through a filter to purify it as it is supplied to the room (a ventilated safe room) |
|
|
a & b |
|

None of the above |
| 18. |
The addition of air filtering improves the protection a safe room provides, although there is limitations as to what gases can be filtered. |
|
|
True |
|
|
False |
| 19. |
There are two general approaches to closing the intentional openings in transition to the protective mode. The first is to use hinged covers mounted within the safe room. The second is to use automatic dampers, particularly in ducts for supply, return, and exhaust. |
|
|
True |
