There was very little they could do protect their home from the vast barrage of bombs dropped. Everyone was asked to build Anderson shelters if their garden would allow, tape up all glass windows and glass doors which would often shatter with the blast effect, some would place wooden shutters over windows to reduce blast. In the home some would build small hiding places beneath stairs to try and shelter from dropping house debris. All houses were expected to use blackout curtains or heavy cloth to cover windows and doors where light could emit giving bombers a light target. Other than these basic precautions when bombs were dropped on civilian targets its was just left to fate and hope that they missed your home
they taped up the windows to stop the glass shattering.

The children needed to be protected from dying in the bombing blitz. The Ministry of Health came up with a program to evacuate the children, some mothers, disabled and very old people to the countryside. The "evacuees" were sent to farms and other country homes.

One thing they did was tape up all the windows so the glass didnt shatter
The people of Cambodia commonly build their homes on stilts to protect them from flooding during the rainy season. Stilt houses also help to keep the interior space cooler and provide additional storage space underneath. Additionally, building homes on stilts helps to keep them safe from animals and pests.
It was very real to the people who had bombs falling on their homes. Look up London Blitz on Wikipedia.
