The main objective of the paper is to introduce "standards" for the improvised shelter design, to describe the individual parts of the shelter together with its processing. Further, the paper clarifies the practical utilisation of theoretical knowledge and its employment within the state administration. The conclusion of the article is devoted to the significant aspects of the improvised shelters and especially their protective characteristics from the perspective of the protection from radioactive emissions, which considerably influenced the proposed tool for support and management of the population sheltering.
