Nuclear attack drills!

Our apartment building have bunker that can withstand nuclear weapons overpressure, firestorm or chemical attack.(escape tunnels, NBC protection, thick air tight steel doors etc..) In fact in urban areas you have to build air raid shelter to every apartment building . Local volunteer fire department even has civil defence unit and all volunteer fire units are trained for civil defence service.

Only drill in our school was fire drill. Civil defence was not PC in 80`s and nowdays you are labeled lunatic if you even speak about it .
