Norway Builds Bomb Shelters: Russian Threat Spurs Worst-Case Scenario Planning
In response to evolving geopolitical threats and potential emergencies, Norway is revisiting its civil defense infrastructure. The government plans to mandate bomb shelters in buildings over 1000 square meters, constructing new facilities to withstand chemical, radioactive, and conventional attacks. These measures, part of a broader national preparedness strategy, also address potential impacts of extreme weather and pandemics. The initiative stems from concerns about Russia’s unpredictable foreign policy and the need for enhanced national resilience.
