While there is no way to completely prepare for a disaster, there are some things you can do to increase the chances that you and your family will be able to weather one. Some of the things to be worried about include food, some sort of shelter or warmth, usable water and how to care for injuries.

After the Cuban Missile Crisis in '62, my Dad built a Bomb Shelter - steel-reinforced concrete w/a door that clanged shut like the Munsters'. It had a generator, air supply, cots, and a bathroom/shower. The escape hatch was at the far end (in case the house fell in & blocked the entrance). Good Times!

Ours was way underground. The entrance was in the back/basement, and went down stairs from there. As a kid it was Really Cool! We had our own dungeon, and it had great reverb for guitar. My Dad ended up keeping wine there.
It's truly sad that you actually Need bomb shelters in Israel, but it's great that you Are doing what is necessary to protect your families.

p.s.: The word "Atom" is not a reference to atomic, rather it is the Hebrew adjective for "sealed." Although everyone here has a kit for chemical and bio attack, the room provides no protection against radiation. The shelter is though, as the title here alludes to, good disaster preparedness.

My home office is...our bomb shelter. Actually called here in Heder Atom (safe room). Every new apt. in Israel is required to have one...in the older ones there is the traditional group, underground one. It is a room like any other but with roof, floor and walls of one inch of steel. The windows can close with glass or a plate of steel which swivels in. And yes, it's got a nice air-filtration syetem. The only problem is if you need to close the door you are cut off from the world...meaning no internet. It makes you feel safe but at the same time it's depressing.
