DR-Bunker in *The Patriot*: Want to Build Your Own Shelter?
What options are available if you want to prepare for a nuclear emergency? The Patriot investigated the availability of public shelters in Belgium and the Netherlands and looked into the private solutions currently available.

Build it yourself or choose a specialized solution?
In the article, The Patriot also explores the possibility of building your own bomb shelter and discusses some important basic principles, such as a sturdy structure, ventilation, and sufficient supplies.
