During wartime, people sought shelter from bombs in various ways, primarily by using air raid shelters, which were specially constructed to protect against explosions and shrapnel. Many individuals took refuge in basements or underground bunkers, while others used public shelters designated by authorities. In some cases, people improvised by creating makeshift shelters in their homes, using furniture and heavy materials to shield themselves. Community preparedness and drills were also crucial in helping civilians respond quickly during air raids.
