I remember the duck and cover drills rather vividly. Also, the CD triangle icon was burned into everyone's head. Most schools had a basement area
that was the official CD signs would lead you too, albeit fairly flimsy, but some had water and food supplies, for the all the real good it would have
done.
One thing that should be noted, is that the duck and cover drills were really designed for areas that would have been outside the blast zone. The
biggest threat to kids and teachers in school, was flying shards of glass, since almost all class rooms had a total wall of windows. Actually
crouching under a desk, may save you from the windows bursting through.... but the radiation... nothing could really save anyone from that.
