32 AI - 13 Activity report from l./3. to 30./6.1943. THE PRIMATOR-STELL REPRESENTATIVES OF THE MAIN CITY PRAG. m98s PMCS TeseueBCpNOgU 2 Since work had already been carried out in these areas in the past, it was necessary and meaningful to continue following the major closure of the spring by reviewing the specified emergency accommodation. Today, a dense network of popeN collection centres and emergency shelters is established, together with the associated staff, which is mainly taken from the urban centres. The recently ordered Generalre-DOL ferent for the super-local air protection, in which all relevant questions have been discussed in detail over the last few days, has agreed to assist in the procurement of the equipment for these accommodations. Prague currently has 6oo straw bags, which, of course, only to a small extent with straw. It could be stuffed, while for the larger part wood wool must be used. Unfortunately, at the time the Ministry of Economic Affairs did not grant us the 2 purchase of 30,000 straw bags, so that there is also a considerable shortage in this area. All precautions have been taken to ensure that food is provided in the accommodation and that all necessary instructions, maps and information are given to the individual victims in these accommodation units. Following Reichsvorbilder we have just prepared a "Merkblatt der Haupt-ElePrague stadtf für Fliegergeschädigte" in an edition of 10.000 pieces, which is now also sent as a sample to the other Protectorate communities. In connection with this, care cards were also printed in the same amount, in which everything that is assigned to the care provider by the various services in support, cards etc. is entered. Similarly, after the Wehrmacht Department, a property damage control authority was set up for which trained personnel could be made available.
