Germany is drawing up a list of bunkers for a new app to help civilians find emergency shelter amid increasing tensions with Russia. Residents are also being encouraged to turn garages and basements into bomb shelters as part of a new review of suitable locations.
Civil protection organisations in Germany have been calling for a faster expansion of shelters, including structures which can quickly and safely accommodate 5,000 people. Germany is said to currently have 579 public shelters with capacity for around 480,000 people.
