The Civil Protection Industry Association, a new professional union of Ukrainian manufacturers developing solutions to protect people and critical infrastructure, has started its work in Ukraine. Hobbit House manager Alla Radchenko is a member of the Association.
The Association was established at the initiative of ICC Ukraine President Volodymyr Shchelkunov following his visit to the "Protection Technologies / PozhTech" exhibition. Its priorities include improving civil protection legislation, cooperation with state institutions (including the National Security and Defense Council, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Cabinet of Ministers and parliamentary committees) and with international partners and donors, as well as developing the industry's analytical work.

Why it matters to us
At Hobbit House we work every day to put shelters where people need them: in schools, at enterprises, in communities. Across more than 1,500 installed projects we have seen the difficulties that arise at every stage — from site selection and approvals to assembly and commissioning. We want this practical experience to be taken into account when decisions on civil protection are made.
The industry needs clear rules, common standards (such as DSTU 9329:2025 for primary mobile shelters) and a working dialogue between manufacturers, the state and communities. The Association is a platform where this can be done systematically.
What's next
We are open to cooperation with communities, state institutions and partners who need modular shelters and practical experience in deploying them. See our modular shelters or learn more about the company.
