One first aid kit for 620 people: Kuzbass demonstrates how to prepare shelters in case of drone attacks
In the Kemerovo Region, shelters have begun to be prepared in case of possible attacks by Ukrainian drones. Governor Ilya Seredyuk regularly posts reports on the preparedness of the facilities on his Telegram channel. He has already inspected two shelters: one in the basement of the Belovo Polytechnic College and one in the basement of a residential building in Kemerovo.
What the first inspections showed
According to the governor's post, two shelters designed to accommodate 620 people have been set up at the Belovo Polytechnic College. However, the video does not show whether there is seating in the shelter. The drinking water supply filmed is limited, and only one first aid kit is visible as medical equipment.
“On my instructions, first aid kits were supplemented with tourniquets,” Seredyuk wrote.
In the second shelter—in the basement of a residential building—one bench and one bottle of drinking water for a cooler are captured on camera. However, the video doesn't specify how many people can fit in this space.
Schools are also preparing shelters
Schools in the region have also begun preparing shelters. School No. 77 in Kemerovo, for example, published photos of a room with a dirt floor, showing benches, mattresses, a couple of bottles of water, and a few rolls of toilet paper. At the Chebulinskaya boarding school, where children with special educational needs are educated and housed, a bottle of water, a first aid kit, and a supply of sand in case of fire were captured on camera.
How do residents react?
Under similar posts, residents of the region express dissatisfaction with the condition of the shelters, noting that the premises are not ready to accommodate large numbers of people:
"Imagine 620 people, one first aid kit, and 20 liters of water." "There should be independent lighting, a sanitary zone, a water supply, and a fully-fledged first aid kit. Another sham involving the governor."
In parallel: inspection of trucks and fire teams
Ilya Seredyuk previously reported on the readiness of mobile fire teams protecting industrial facilities and urban shelters. Truck inspections have also been stepped up at the entrances to Kemerovo: according to a former veteran of the war with Ukraine, truck drivers are being "discreetly" monitored by officers in civilian clothes, who call the police and the National Guard if necessary.
