Excerpt from GDI Emergency Procedures Packet - Storm Shelter Protocol

GDI Storm Shelters are located throughout all Blue Zones and in select Yellow Zone operational areas. They are generally found in close proximity to population centers and government installations. The earliest shelters were built after Ion Storms decimated population centers, including an incident resulting in the death of the famed Dr. Mobius and his top staff. Ion Storm Shelters are typically located between 10 and 30 meters below ground level, but no closer than 70 meters to significant deposits of underground water or Tiberium. Their construction includes 8 foot thick, steel-reinforced concrete walls with integrated sonic emitters to prevent nearby Tiberium growth. Newer shelters include dormitories, cafeterias, medical facilities, vehicle maintenance garages, long-term power generators and redundant sonic emitters. In high-risk areas some shelters have gained cultural significance as centers of social activity from sports to art and music events, gaining nicknames such as "Sector 7", "Old Blue" "The Hatch".

 In recent years many private organizations have developed smaller shelters for corporations and individuals at exorbitant prices. On rare occasion these private shelters link with official GDI shelters via underground tunnels. Private citizens with shelters that link to GDI public shelters are required by law to allow access to anyone who requests aid during class C emergencies and above.

 NOTE: Upon arrival at an unfamiliar Blue or Yellow Zone, take special care to familiarize yourself with the locations of nearby storm shelters. They can also be easily identified by the international Ion Storm Shelter symbol.

摘自GDI应急程序包——风暴避难所协议

GDI风暴避难所坐落在所有蓝区和选中黄区的行动区域。它们通常位于人口中心和政府设施附近。最早的避难所是在离子风暴摧毁人口中心后建造的，包括一场导致著名的莫比乌斯博士和他的高级员工死亡的离子风暴袭击事件。离子风暴避难所通常位于地下10到30米之间，但不会接近70米以下的大量地下水沉积层或泰矿沉积层。避难所建筑包括八英尺厚的钢筋混凝土墙和用来阻止附近的泰矿生长的集成音波发生器。较新的庇护所包括宿舍、食堂、医疗设施、维修车库、长期发电机和备用的声波发射器。在高风险地区的一些避难所已经作为从体育到艺术到音乐活动的社交场所而获得了文化意义，同时获得了诸如“第七区”，“老蓝”（译注：blue有忧伤的意思，old blue可能也有古典忧伤的意思），“舱口”等称号。

近几年来很多私人组织以过高的价格为公司和个人修建小型避难所。在个别情况下这些私人避难所通过地下隧道与官方GDI避难所相联系。法律规定拥有联通到GDI避难所的私人避难所公民，在C级及以上紧急情况时应允许任何需要帮助的人进入避难所。

注：一旦到达一个不熟悉的蓝区或黄区，尤其注意要熟悉你附近风暴避难所的位置。它们也可以很轻易地通过国际通用离子风暴避难所标志来识别。
