Lithuania plans to modernize at least 1,000 shelters by 2028, making them stronger and accessible to people with disabilities. The government wants the shelters to provide space for 63% of the country’s population.

The Interior Ministry will lead the work together with municipalities. The government also plans to renew the public warning system by the end of 2027, creating a single system capable of alerting residents through several methods.

Protection for important state facilities and other critical systems will also be strengthened. The work is planned for completion by the second quarter of 2027 and will cover sites on land, at sea and in other waters.

The measures are intended to improve the country’s ability to prevent threats and prepare for crises and dangerous situations.
