I did some like it for tornadoes (whilst at a small private school for pre-K and the first quarter of kindergarten).

My Grandmother had a house in the 1960’s with a atomic bomb shelter in the backyard. Sort of a scary place to visit, under 6-8 feet of dirt, concrete walls and a hand cranked pump to get fresh air down and pulled through a filter. Makes you think survival is not all it is cracked up to be in that situation. Especially if you forget the can opener (credits to Gary Larson.)
