The US government supplied the yellow painted metal sirens built at street corners, and emplaced anti-aircraft missile batteries into underground silos around the neighborhoods (no one knew they were there, until construction crews un-covered them when the cold war ended in 1990); school children were mandated to conduct "Duck and Cover" drills in the classroom..."at the sight of a blinding light cover your heads, ball up into the fetal position and hide under your desk." "When walking home from school, if you see a ball of fire/blinding light seek cover immediately." Home owners under there own decisions and money built BOMB SHELTERS in their back yards.
