Haarlem, Dreef.
CV, Prov. Noord Holland, Provinciaal Coördinatie Centrum (PCC)

In Haarlem at the Dreef 3, you find the "Provinciehuis Noord-Holland. Underneath one of the buildings there is a bunker.

The bunker is constructed in 1963. It was used by the Provincial Civil Defence (PCCV).
After the Cold War the bunker was modified and got modern equipment.  Later on the bunker served as a command centre during big events or great public disturbances in the province and most of the time for problems in the city of Amsterdam. At the moment we took the pictures the PCC was stand-by for operation.,In the mean time they have been moved to another location in the city.
The bunker will be demolished to make space for new offices.

Types:
1x PCCV Command Post.
Haarlem, Zijlweg.
BB, Prov. Noord Holland, Provinciaal Commando Bescherming Bevolking (PCBB).

At the Zijlweg in Haarlem as part of one of the provincial offices, there is an underground bunker that was used as a Provincial Command Civil Protection organisation "Bescherming Bevolking" (BB).
This organisation was too help and rescue civilians, provided additional fire services, warn for bombardments or ABC incidents.
From this Provincial CP they coordinated the actions in the province of Noord Holland and where in contact with come smaller CPs divided over the province (Kringen) and the HQ of the BB Utrecht.
On the pictures you see several radio transmitters that were used in those days to make radio contact with other command centres. When the BB stopped in 1985 all those transmitters where collected by the government except these in Haarlem. In the meantime the transmitters have been taken out and stored elsewhere!
The bunker was recently flooded with more than 1 meter water because the water pump was out of order. After this incident most of the water was pumped out , but there is still about 10-15cm water in it.
