Civil shelter infrastructure is a part of a broader
Civil Defense domain (that shall be covered by
yet another article). Resolving the problems
of civil shelters listed in part one calls for a
multidimensional effort. Before defining the levels
of protection required, and taking a deep dive into
technicalities, the author would like to present
methods that could be used to resolve legal and
organiza-tional problems. These methods can be
divided into two, separate categories:
a) ad hoc; b) systemic;
The necessity to create new shelters is virtually
permanent, as there is a major shortage of
relevant elements of this infrastructure. For that
reason, paradoxically, the most urgent of the ad
hoc problems could be resolved by bringing an
inter-ministry team of experts to life, with proper
know-how and experience at hand, required
to prepare a broad scope of legal regulations
(regulations, ordinances, recommendations, and
so on) regarding the shelter buildings. A team as
such would secure the know-how at the state level,
and it shall work for all state and local government
bodies, also in an ad hoc manner.
The first part of my article has been widely commented on, especially
among the hobby-ists dealing with fortifications - also the historic ones.
The present article aims to present solutions to some of the issues
mentioned in the Frag Out! Magazine #40.
