KARANTTIA AND CIVIL DEFENCE
A civil defence shelter is a separate room or separate structure provided inside or in connection with a building. Its task is to protect the people at locations where they normally move, work, and live. The purpose of the defence shelter is to protect people against toxic spills, radioactive fallout, or a military attack, for example. In Finland, civil defence shelters are mainly intended for protection during armed conflicts.
The purpose of civil defence is to protect the civilian population and non-military persons during wars, armed conflicts and battles.
