Finnish Expert Urges Estonia to Boost Underground Protection, Not Copy Asylum System
A Finnish civil defense planner has advised Estonia to focus on strengthening its underground protection rather than replicating Finland's asylum system. Pasi Raatikainen, a senior planner from Helsinki, suggests upgrading basements and building above-ground shelters for better safety.
Pasi Raatikainen, a senior civil defense planner in Helsinki, has shared his insights on Estonia's protective measures. He believes that Estonia should not simply adopt Finland's asylum system. Instead, Raatikainen recommends that Estonians prioritize enhancing their basements and constructing above-ground shelters.
Raatikainen's advice comes from his assessment that Finland's shelters, while useful, might not provide adequate protection in the event of military action due to their distance from potential targets. He suggests that focusing on underground and near-surface structures could offer better protection.
