Shelters

If you don't have a shelter in your house, you can prepare a room in your basement as a shelter. Shelters should be built as self-contained rooms that can be sealed gas-tight. The room should be suitable for a longer stay. The shelter should be in a corner of the building if possible and should not have any opening to the outside. It should not be larger than 30m2. Cellar windows should be bricked up to the full thickness of the wall and shafts should be filled in. In terraced houses, plan a wall gap of around 60 x 80 cm to the neighboring house (escape route).
