Bunkers are bigger counterparts of bomb shelters where troopers can go to a sick bay. Shrapnels are the least of the issues of these evacuees. The bomb shelters must also be able to withstand the effects of radiation caused by nuclear bombing. Some shelters have massive walls to block whatever radiation or biological armaments the enemy is using. Bomb shelters are investments that should be kept. No one knows when they may be of use again.
