Shelters for Local Government Units (LGUs) — Civil Protection and Crisis Management
FORORAK delivers shelters and places of refuge for local government units, designed as part of a local civil protection and crisis management system. These facilities can serve as shelter points, backup crisis management posts, and local coordination hubs in emergency situations.
Offer for LGUs — Who These Solutions Are For
This offer is addressed to:
- municipalities and cities,
- counties/districts and regions/provinces,
- LGU organizational units,
- entities carrying out tasks in the field of civil defense and population protection.
Scope of Delivery for LGUs
Construction of New Shelters
- underground and partially buried shelters,
- integration of a shelter into a new public investment,
- modular solutions enabling phased implementation.
Modernization of Existing Facilities
- adaptation of basements, garages, and technical facilities,
- raising the standard of temporary shelter spaces,
- retrofitting historic shelters with modern technical systems,
- improving airtightness, safety, and facility autonomy.
Technical Systems and Facility Autonomy
Filter-Ventilation and NBC Protection Systems
LGU shelters are equipped with NBC ventilation and filter-ventilation systems that remove chemical, biological, and radiological threats from the air and maintain overpressure inside the facility. This ensures safe conditions for the population during threats and is a key element of life protection in collective protection facilities.
- air purification against chemical, biological, and radiological hazards,
- maintained overpressure inside the facility,
- safe occupancy conditions for the population during threat situations.
Emergency Power and Facility Autonomy
Each facility delivered for an LGU can be equipped with solutions that enable independent shelter operation even during long-term power outages.
- emergency power supply,
- generator sets,
- UPS systems,
- dedicated power distribution boards.
Sanitary and Habitation Support
Collective shelters require basic living conditions, selected depending on facility capacity and the expected duration of occupancy:
- water installations,
- water and wastewater tanks,
- toilets and hygiene facilities,
- primary and emergency lighting.
Fire Protection Systems
In LGU shelters and places of refuge, we implement solutions that increase user safety and reduce the risk of secondary incidents in an enclosed facility:
- fire detection systems,
- alarm signaling installations,
- suppression systems adapted to enclosed facilities.
Communications and Crisis Management
LGU facilities can function as shelter points, backup crisis management posts, and local coordination hubs. For this purpose, shelters may be equipped with communications systems, technical monitoring, and integration with alerting systems.
- communications systems,
- technical monitoring,
- integration with alerting systems.
Turnkey Project Delivery
Delivery includes the full process of preparation and execution, with the option of phased implementation and future expansion:
- analysis of LGU needs and local threats,
- assessment of existing infrastructure,
- technical design,
- construction or modernization of the facility,
- installation of technical systems,
- testing and commissioning.
Benefits for Local Government Units
- increased real-world protection of the population,
- improved crisis readiness of the municipality or city,
- use of existing infrastructure,
- ability to meet population protection requirements,
- a durable investment in public safety.
Shelters for LGUs are a practical civil protection tool that combines modern technical solutions with the real needs of local authorities. Building or modernizing such facilities increases the resilience of local communities to crisis and emergency situations.
