Bunkers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bunker) have a wide variety of uses (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1554796/Bunkers-in-vogue-as-cold-war-fears-rise.html) in today's world (http://www.usbunkers.com/terrorism.php). They're not all used by those fearful of a terrorist attack (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/main.jhtml?xml=/property/2003/04/12/pbunk12.xml). They are also used to protect from natural disasters (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yspYyoCig6g&eurl=http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Super-Top-Secret-Bunker-Project-Video/) and to hide grow-ops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg2TyjWjCls&feature=related). George's (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Emergency_Operations_Center) got one (http://www.globalsecurity.org/wmd/facility/images/ik_white-house_ann_005.jpg). Tom too. (http://blog.wired.com/defense/2007/10/tom-cruises-10m.html) You can build you own (http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Build-a-Super-Top-Secret-Bunker-under-Your-/), or have someone (http://www.bunkerbuilders.com/) do it (http://www.dailymotion.com/channel/tech/video/x2wij3_private-nuclear-bunker_news) for you. The Ark Two Shelter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_Two_Shelter) is located (http://www.radmeters4u.com/arktwo/location.gif) just outside of Toronto (http://www.radmeters4u.com/arktwo/). Tours of bunkers are also available (http://www.bunkertours.com/). Be prepared (http://www.hardenedstructures.com/attackscenarios.asp).

Welcome To Diefenbunker, Canada's Cold War Museum (http://www.diefenbunker.ca/)
Built to protect the government from nuclear attack, this once-secret bunker is now a museum and National Historic Site of Canada.
In addition to preserving and promoting Canada's Cold War history, we offer a variety of visitor programs and services. This year is our 10th anniversary — a perfect chance to visit us and relive the experience of the Cold War!
