Most houses provide a high degree of protection against the effects of a bomb falling nearby; in every home there is a spot which, with little trouble, could be converted into an air raid shelter.
Sir Alexander House, Chief Engineer to the Ministry of Home Security, stated recently that all householders should determine this spot and prepare it as a refuge without delay.
What to Look For Here are some expert hints on how to select the domestic re- fuge corner:
