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
