Pulowski Preservation Services was a pre-War company, using the slogan "purveyors of products there when you actually need them."
Background
Publications
They offered a single product: the Pulowski Preservation Shelter. These cylindrical, coin-operated, single-person fallout shelters seemed to sprout up almost overnight, occupying the urban niche once filled by phone booths. They were billed as an affordable alternative to installing a full vault, and intended as a last-minute, first-come, first-served shelter during a nuclear attack.
As fear escalated in the final months of the War, the shelters sold by the thousands. However, the money did very few of its shareholders or executives any good once their product was finally put to use.
Their customers fared little better. The shelters shielded occupants well enough from the blast waves themselves, but provided no protection from radiation, and had no food or water supply. The integral air filter only protected those inside from death by suffocation, leaving them to a more prolonged agony from thirst, starvation, or radiation poisoning.
After the War
Pulowski Preservation Shelters remain a common sight throughout the Commonwealth and Appalachia. Their design from a physical standpoint was clearly excellent. However, owing to the lack of radiation shielding and survival supplies, many became tombs in the days after the bombs fell.
When opening a sealed shelter, characters should exercise caution. It may be empty but for a desiccated corpse, or it could contain a feral ghoul desperate to escape and feed. Sometimes, the ghoul’s howls and snarls are loud enough to give some warning... sometimes.
