Storm shelter

GDI Storm Shelters are located throughout all Blue Zones and in select Yellow Zone operation areas. They are generally found in close proximity to population centres and Government installations. The earliest shelters were built after Ion Storms decimated population centres, 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 metres below ground level, but no closer than 70 metres 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 centres of social activity from sports to art and music events, gaining nicknames such as "Sector 7", "Old Blue" and "The Hatch".

In recent years, many private organisations have developed smaller shelters for corporations and individuals at exorbitant prices. On rare occasions, these private shelters link with Offical 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.
