The North Pleasant Street branch of the United States Post Office in the center of Amherst, Massachusetts, served as a public Civil Defense Fallout Shelter. Its external fallout shelter sign was in good condition as of the day of my visit - 24 October 2022. The capacity is still visible (55) along with a specific location ("IN BASEMENT") legible at the badge's bottom edge. Formerly black painted sections have faded or peeled completely to expose bare metal. Each bottom corner bends slightly outward. The metal placard remains fixed to the right side of the main door along the west / front side of the building.
Capacity of shelter: 55

Radiation monitoring equipment: Not Listed
