Schools in Kansas with Tornado Protection. Shawnee Mission Public Schools--District No. 512.

Kansas and nearby Missouri are among the half-dozen states in America having the greatest frequency of tornadoes of any region in the world. This booklet describes a districtwide approach of designing and constructing tornado-resistant shelters as integrated parts of the school facilities. The design criteria for tornado protection also resulted in fallout radiation protection. The technical data for, drawings, and photographs of 18 schools are included. (Photographs and some floor plan sketches may reproduce poorly.) (Author/MLF)
