The Civil Defence Shelter Programme is part of the government's
plan to build up our Civil Defence preparedness under the umbrella
of Total Defence. The long-term goal of the shelter programme is
for every resident in Singapore to be protected by a purpose-built
shelter berth.
In many countries with established civil defence programmes, a
comprehensive shelter construction programme is recognised as the
most visible and effective way to protect civilians from weapon
effects during a war emergency. Furthermore, in a war emergency,
NSmen at the battlefront would have greater peace of mind, knowing
that their loved ones at home would be protected
