Calls Grow for US to Reconsider Air Raid Shelters

In an era of rising geopolitical threats against the U.S. and its allies, many Americans are increasingly concerned about national security. Some have even begun to suggest reinstating air raid shelters as a modern form of protection.

A recent study by BlueWeave Consulting showed that the U.S. market for private bomb and fallout shelters was worth about $137 million in 2023 and is expected to grow to $175 million by 2030. In a 2021 interview, Ron Hubbard of Atlas Survival Shelters said he struggled to keep up with the high demand.
