Kyiv shelter map: nearest shelters and protective structures

The safety of every resident and guest of the capital is our top priority. On this page of the Kyiv1.com team, we have deployed a convenient city navigator of civil defense structures.

All locations on the map are automatically synchronized with the official and up-to-date registry of shelters of the Kyiv City State Administration. The information is constantly updated so that you can find the nearest safe place in a matter of seconds during an air raid or emergency.

A guide for townspeople: how the map is laid out and what types of shelters exist

For your convenience, all protective objects on the map are divided into categories using special filters and icons:

Main types of protective structures

  • Metro stations: The most reliable underground facilities in Kyiv that operate as shelters 24/7 during air raids.

  • Underground parking lots and passages: Modern concrete structures that provide a high level of protection and have a large capacity.

  • Specialized storage and bomb shelters: Hermetic underground structures on the territory of enterprises or in residential areas.

  • The simplest shelters (basements and basements): Equipped basements in residential buildings, schools, kindergartens, and administrative buildings.

Additional useful service features

By clicking on any mark on the map, you can instantly find out:

  1. The exact address and type of protective structure.

  2. The balance holder (who is responsible for the keys and access to the premises).

  3. Capacity (how many people the storage facility is designed for).

  4. Availability of a generator or autonomous power supply (a critically important marker during blackouts).
