 No need. Every residential building has one by law over here.

 Switzerland. Between private and public there is room for 9M people in atomic shelters. (Population is a few 100k’s below that).

 Are they stocked with supplies for at least 2 weeks?

 I don’t think they are as such. But it is my understanding that there is stock ready and regularly replenished ready to be deployed. It’s also a citizen responsibility to be ready. I think it’s not mandatory to build them anymore (stopped in 2014). But the amount of places in shelter is monitored and more will be built is population keeps growing this fast.

 Sirens are tested each year. Kids learn from a young age what to do if they hear them.
