City to build 19 emergency shelters
Print Edition
SHANGHAI will build 19 more emergency shelters this year in the event of natural disasters.
Local authorities said the new shelters will raise the total number of such protection covers to 49.
Shanghai has built 30 emergency shelters since 2010, covering an area of 1.55 million square meters which can hold 200,000 people in the event of disasters such as fires, floods and earthquakes, according to the city’s Civil Defense Office.
Last year, 23 more shelters — 5 more than planned — were built.
It was initially planned that more than 330 such facilities will be constructed by 2020, so that every sub-district in the city is equipped with an emergency shelter, which can provide water, electricity and other relief materials.
Emergency equipment will be installed in all the shelters.
One such shelter was built in Yanghang Middle School in Baoshan District last year, which has a 470-watt emergency generator as well as a 300-meter-deep well, ensuring 80 tons of drinkable water every day. The school shelter can hold about 10,000 people during emergency.
Underground spaces in the Xuhui Riverside area covering an area of 7.4 square kilometers, will be developed to maximize its functions for air defense, as well as transportation, entertainment and commerce.
