Merkhav Mugan

Merkhav Mugan (Hebrew: מרחב מוגן, lit. 'protected space') is a reinforced security room offering protection against high impact projectiles and chemical weapons, required in all new buildings by Israeli law. A Merkhav Mugan can either be part of an individual apartment, or service parts of or an entire residential, office or other building. It is deemed preferable to a public bomb shelter, known as a "miklat" (Hebrew: מקלט, lit. 'shelter'), when the warning time is too short for residents to reach a shelter, which may be located some distance away.
