Becuase during WW2, there was a lot of threat from bombs which could fall on houses and towns. Air raid shelters were built as underground rooms in back gardens on in tube stations all over the country so that when the air raid siren went off, signalling bombs, people could hide underground, where they would be much safer. If someone was in a house when a bomb fell, when the house would collapse on them it would possibly cause more damadge than if they were underground, beneath a shelter which was lightweight and wouldn't hurt you if it collapsed. People then would only be killed in the bomb landed directly on op of the air shelter, which was rather unlikely.
