FDP parliamentary group inquires about public shelters
Berlin (hib/VOM) – The FDP parliamentary group in the Bundestag wants the federal government to provide information about the status of public shelters. In a small question, the parliamentary group asks, among other things, how many public shelters are currently available in Germany and how many people they can accommodate in total.
In addition, the MPs want to know how the federal government intends to ensure that sufficient protective spaces are available in the event of an emergency. The inquiry also asks about the costs of setting up and maintaining public shelters.
The FDP parliamentary group justifies its request with the fact that the security situation in Germany has changed since the beginning of the Ukraine war. “The war in Ukraine has shown that we must be better prepared for crises and emergencies,” says Michael Theurer, deputy chairman of the FDP parliamentary group. “Public shelters are an important part of this preparation.”
The federal government has already begun to take measures to improve the protection of the population in the event of an emergency. In December 2022, the Federal Ministry of the Interior announced that it would make 500 million euros available for the construction and renovation of public shelters. However, the FDP parliamentary group considers these measures to be insufficient.
“The federal government must do more to ensure that sufficient protective spaces are available in the event of an emergency,” says Theurer. “The small request is intended to provide transparency about the current state of affairs and to initiate a debate about the need for further measures.”
