Tallinn mayor Jevgeni Ossinovski (SDE) has announced a support measure which aims to address the problem of inadequate emergency shelter facilities in apartment buildings in the capital.
The measure will apply to housing association (KÜ) properties only.
The mayor said the project is a priority in the city’s security plan, while the support aims to boost the operational continuity of buildings, thereby also strengthening community safety and crisis readiness.
It also follows new national legislation mandating shelters in new builds and developing those facilities in existing buildings.
The city government sent the crisis preparedness support measure for apartment associations to the city council for its approval. If it passes, the measure will allow housing associations to adapt shelter spaces and improve the continuity of their operations.
