Finland's Underground Shelters Highlighted During War

Members of the Ukrainian Mayors' Delegation visited the "Meriheka" civilian shelter in Helsinki. It is the largest shelter in Finland, currently serving as a multi-purpose facility with a capacity of 6,000 people. Its size is comparable to a seven-story office building. The shelter was constructed in 2003 and features sports courts, a game room, and a children's playground. It is prepared for quick evacuation within 72 hours in emergency situations. Building shelters in Finland is mandatory, and Finnish companies possess extensive expertise in designing and maintaining these shelters. They export such facilities to several countries, including the Gulf region, where there is growing demand for civil protection solutions—especially as risks related to war and security threats increase.
