Beijing's
First Emergency Shelter
The capital's first Emergency Shelter has
been built in the Yuan Capital Wall Park. Covering an area of
600,980 square meters, the park can accommodate 253,300 people,
so can provide shelter for the neighboring four residential
sub-districts. An underground water supply and electrical grid
are capable of satisfying all their needs in an emergency.
It is reported that the Beijing municipal
government is planning a series of further emergency shelters.
