Press tour to the civil defense defense facility
On March 1, as part of the celebration of the World Civil Defense Day, a press tour was held in the civil defense protective structure on the territory of the Nizhnekamsk CHPP. This holiday was established by the decision of the General Assembly of the International Civil Defense Organization in 1990. The date of the celebration is dedicated to the creation of the International Civil Defense Organization on March 1, 1972. Then the French general of the medical service, Georges Saint-Paul, at the initiative of several countries, founded the "Association of Geneva Zones" - "security zones". The main goal of the establishment of this organization was the creation of local security zones in all countries.
Civil defense shelters provide protection from the effects of nuclear weapons and conventional weapons of destruction, bacterial (biological) agents, toxic substances, as well as, if necessary, from catastrophic flooding, emergency chemical hazardous substances and radioactive products. Modern civil defense protective structures are complex technical structures that are equipped with a whole complex of engineering and technical systems and measuring devices that provide regulatory requirements for normal life support conditions for the population for a certain time.
The facility allows you to provide comfortable accommodation for employees for several days. For this purpose, the shelter is equipped with ventilation and exhaust systems, power supply, communication. Bunks are installed in the rooms, which allows the sheltered to lie and sit. When preparing the protective structure for the reception of people, the laying of food and drinking water will be carried out. In addition to the rooms in which the sheltered are housed, the shelter has rooms for storing protective equipment and food, a filter ventilation room, a node with a pumping station, a medical post, a sanitary unit, diesel power plants, there are tools that will allow you to clear the exit from the shelter in the event of a blockage of the main and emergency entrance (exit).
With great surprise, media representatives, especially those under the age of 30, learned that during a special period, neither cellular communication nor the Internet will work in the city. Communication can only be carried out in the "old-fashioned" way - using a wired phone and by radio.
There were many more curious questions that any schoolboy could easily answer in Soviet times - why do you need such a massive door, and what kind of handle does it have, why do you need a rubber gasket, and so on and so on.
At the end of the event, Konstantin Slobodyuk thanked the journalists for their participation and wished a peaceful and calm sky over his head, so that the protective structures would never be used for their intended purpose.
