Norway begins building bomb shelters in case of worst-case war scenario

The Norwegian government intends to reintroduce requirements for new buildings over 1000 square meters to have shelters installed, NRK reports. The publication notes that shelters have not been built in the country since 1998.

The situation around us is more unpredictable. We must take care of the civilian population in case of the worst-case scenario of war or armed attack. In this case, shelters are one of the protective measures we need

– said the head of the Norwegian Ministry of Emergency Situations, Emilie Mehl.



As the Norwegian press has found out, the country's government is proposing to build two types of shelters. The first should provide protection from weapons mass destruction, and the second - from conventional weapons.



It is noteworthy that the construction of the corresponding structures will be paid for by ordinary citizens. According to calculations, the shelters will cost 2,5 thousand euros per person. And this amount is planned to be included in the cost of new apartments.

As the Norwegian government explains, the country's current shelters are sufficient to ensure the safety of only 45 percent of the population. While in neighboring countries this figure is an order of magnitude higher.

For example, in Finland, approximately 90 percent of the population can take refuge in shelters, in Denmark – 80 percent, and in Sweden – 70 percent of citizens.

Let us add that earlier the Swedish government was concerned about finding additional places to build cemeteries in case of war with Russia.

    And so their prices for real estate are astronomical, and will become galactic, then intergalactic. And basically the Norwegians live in their own houses, like barns (we keep agricultural equipment in them) in size, but with European-style renovation.

        I have not been to Tromsø, Bergen 6 times, some kind of hole, and Kirkenes 8 times. I have seen Norwegian houses, built well after minus 1940. But what struck me most was the house on 4 voluns, the foundation of the voluns - beautiful devil. I went out onto the porch, and in the garden there were aspen mushrooms in buckets. In 1998, such a barn cost more than 1 million 500 NCR. And it cannot be torn down. What in the photo looks like social housing, with astronomical prices. $5 income per family - you are poor.

        There is a saying in Norway: A Norwegian was born, took out a loan and died. Only a few live there for their own pleasure. IT specialists, sailors and oil workers. Well, and all sorts of realtors. In Bergen, I fooled around, a club house with apartments of 38 square meters, the view is simply gorgeous, from the balcony you can catch cod by paying a license. The cost of the hut is $ 300 (without repairs). 000. Norwegian women are cultured, if they want to get drunk, they get drunk and turn into a log. And talk?

    Don't the Scandinavians think too much of themselves - a bomb or a missile for each of them? We don't hit civilians, we don't touch the enemy's VPR, everyone already knows that. The construction lobby is probably getting busy.

      Are you talking about the Russian Federation? I am talking about it - what is the percentage of security we have? Even if we take the basements of apartment buildings (which look more like sarcophagi) as shelters, they will not be enough for even 55% of the city population. And they are closed, welded shut during the anti-terror campaign...

          Why the phrase "illiterate"? The population of the country is one thing, and the newcomers are something else entirely, with them, it will amount to exactly 450%.

          An order of magnitude - this is 10 times.

          But besides its direct meaning, this expression can also be used in a figurative sense.
          "An order of magnitude" in a figurative sense - several times.

    And this is good, they are afraid of the b@tches! They feel what Russia is, they understand who the Russians are, and they remember how much nastiness they have done without any repercussions. Apparently, the only way to maintain peace with the West is to keep them in fear, in horror! So be it! Forever and ever, Amen!

    That's what I understand, there is no war yet and there won't be one, and they are building bomb shelters, and in Russia there is a military conflict and some things are flying in, so they don't even do an Inspection of bomb shelters and fire ponds, In Soviet times, bomb shelters and fire ponds were built at every enterprise, Probably current managers don't even know about this. You don't hear anything at all - are they putting this economy in order?
