BOMB
SHELTER
The shelters involved in the creation of maps and posters following this guideline have never been and will never be intended for practical use. Most shelters that can currently be found on Google Maps in peaceful countries are abandoned and aren't suitable for use in case of real danger.
This project is solely aimed at raising awareness. Please do not mislead people, and do not present this information as maps of actual, operational bomb shelters.
- Only military structures and sites marked on the Google map as bunkers or bomb shelters should be added to the map.
- Make sure you haven't added a point that is not a bunker but is named like one (e.g., a cafe, bar, club, etc.).
