Country by country

Which countries have a shelter place for every resident?

Of 62 countries, only Switzerland states a shelter place per resident as its rule. Twelve publish no shelter guidance; 17 have no protective network.

Updated 2026-10-20· 131 official sources

Short answer. Of the 62 countries compared, only Switzerland states a shelter place for every resident as its rule, with about 370,000 personal shelters 1. Taiwan reports air-raid facilities for about 3.7 times its registered population 2. At the other end, Slovakia's hardened shelters cover 4.15% of people to be sheltered 3, Germany's 579 shelters are not ready for use 4, and 12 countries publish no shelter guidance.

How do the 62 countries compare?

"Unconfirmed" means the information exists only in a press report, a parliamentary question or a source Phaenyx could not open, and is not asserted here. "No official guidance published" means the country's official sources say nothing usable on public shelters. "Not stated" means the official source is silent on that point.

Which country plans a shelter place for every resident?

Only Switzerland states it as a principle: "Jeder Einwohnerin und jedem Einwohner ein Schutzplatz" 1. Planning counts the permanent resident population; tourists are not counted but would be accommodated in practice 1.

Three countries reach full coverage on paper by counting ordinary buildings. Taiwan's air-raid facilities hold about 86.65 million people, about 3.7 times the registered population 2. Japan reports 100% coverage by emergency temporary evacuation facilities as of 1 April 2026, for short shelter from blast and fragments 62. Slovakia reaches 111% only through self-help shelters prepared after an emergency is declared 3.

Which countries have large networks below full coverage?

Sweden (about 7 million places) 113, Finland (about 4.8 million) 40, Denmark (just over 3.6 million) 35 and Norway (nearly 2.5 million) 86 keep shelters inside buildings. Poland counts about 20 million places 91. Ukraine covers about half its population 121, and Cyprus says coverage rose from 30% to about 45% after shifting to large underground spaces 29. Croatia covers under 10% 27. Kazakhstan counted simple shelters for about 11 million people in 2022 65.

Lithuania 70, Latvia 68, the Czech Republic 33, Estonia 38, South Korea 109, Singapore 103, Israel 59, Slovenia 105, Bulgaria 17 and Serbia 99 also run networks. Israel's State Comptroller found about 2.6 million residents (28%) without standard protection near home 59. Turkey and Georgia provide for shelters in law but publish no count 11946; Turkey's AFAD tells people outdoors during an air-raid alarm to reach the nearest general shelter, underpass, tunnel or basement 128. Kuwait lists 129 designated sheltering sites, mostly schools, each linked to a map 66. See what to do during an air-raid alert.

Which countries keep shelters that are not ready?

Germany's 579 shelters are "weder funktions- noch einsatzbereit" 4. Denmark's shelters cannot be used immediately in an unannounced event 36. In Romania, our count of the IGSU list finds 934 of 6,118 entries fully functional 98. In Poland, almost 2,000 of almost 4,000 structures inspected were fit for purpose 91; in Israel, about 20% of public shelters were not fit for use 59. In Serbia, the State Audit Institution found about two thirds of the 1,442 public shelters not technically inspected in 2019-2022 99. Bulgaria grades each of its 247 facilities: category II needs up to a week and minor funding 17.

Which countries rely on evacuation centres or ordinary buildings?

The United States 126, France 42, Austria 10, the Netherlands 83, New Zealand 85 and Australia 9 have no public protective network. In Latin America and Asia, public shelters mean places to stay after a disaster, not protection from weapons: Mexico's temporary refuges 78, Brazil's municipal shelters 15, Colombia's temporary accommodation 22, Peru's albergues 89, Costa Rica's albergues 23, Chile's evacuation areas 20, India's cyclone shelters 54, the Philippines' evacuation centers 90, Thailand's temporary shelters 117 and Malaysia's 9,058 evacuation centres 74. Iceland relies on Red Cross mass-care centres 52. See sheltering in place or evacuating, the protection factor and the 7-10 rule.

Which countries publish no shelter guidance?

Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Portugal, South Africa, Spain and the United Kingdom publish no official guidance on public shelters. Where they advise anything, it is to shelter in the building you are in: Luxembourg says the shelter period should generally not exceed 48 hours 71, and Portugal says a basement gives even better protection than the rest of the house 93. Malta's Second World War rock-cut shelters are heritage sites, not a civil-defence network 7677.

Which countries are unconfirmed?

Nine countries carry at least one unconfirmed point. Greece's 2,892 sites for 1,981,514 people come from press reports of a ministerial answer Phaenyx could not open 49. Moldova's figures (174 civil-protection shelters for 62,513 people; 1,790 spaces cited by the minister) and its announced online map could not be checked on the IGSU site 8182129. Indonesia's 12 tsunami evacuation buildings come from a ministry page blocked outside the country 56. The United Arab Emirates guide describes public shelters in metro stations, car parks and schools but names no website or count 123. Qatar's list of safe indoor locations comes from press reports of the Interior Ministry 96130. France's "about 1,000 shelters" appears only in parliamentary questions 4445, Austria's 4-5% figure only in a 2018 ministry magazine 12, and the counts of evacuation centres built in the Philippines and post-disaster lodging in Chile do not come from official sources.

Frequently asked questions

Does any country have a shelter for every resident?

Switzerland is the only country of the 62 that states one shelter place per resident as its rule 1. Taiwan and Japan report full coverage with designated existing buildings 262; Slovakia reaches it only with self-help shelters 3.

Which countries have no public shelters?

Seventeen countries state they have no protective public network or offer only evacuation and disaster centres, including the United States, France, Austria, Australia, Mexico, Brazil, India and Malaysia 1264210978155474. Twelve more publish no official guidance on the subject.

Are Germany's public shelters usable?

No. The federal government states that the 579 remaining shelters, with 477,593 places, are neither functional nor ready for use 4.

Do tourists get a shelter place?

Only Switzerland addresses tourists: they are not counted in planning but would be accommodated in practice 1. Norway's public shelters are for anyone in the area 8687; the other 60 countries' sources do not say.

How can I find the nearest public shelter?

It depends on the country. Cyprus has the SafeCY app 131, Kuwait an official list with map links 66, Bulgaria a PDF list by province 17, the Czech Republic the Terinos map 32 and Poland a shelter-point finder 92. In Croatia, Slovenia and Serbia, ask your municipality 26105101.

Preparing where you live

If your country has no public shelter or none near you, a written household plan tells you where to go and what to bring. The Phaenyx plan gathers your country's official guidance in one place; see also our family plan guide.
