en.Wedoany.com Reported - Shanghai Tower has entered a flood prevention alert state. To address the four-month flood season officially starting this June, the company has fully initiated flood prevention and typhoon response communication support efforts. Centered on the Safety Production Month theme of "Everyone Speaks Safety, Everyone Knows Emergency Response—Investigate and Rectify Risks and Hazards," Shanghai Tower is committed to a work orientation of preparing for major floods, handling major emergencies, and conducting major disaster relief. It is consolidating flood prevention responsibilities at all levels, refining preventive measures, and ensuring sufficient emergency resources.
The company has established a 2026 Flood and Drought Control Communication Service Support Leading Group, strengthening collaboration with the three major telecom operators. It has streamlined processes for coordinated dispatch, network monitoring alarm information exchange, and emergency power generation support, and jointly formulated a support plan. In terms of prevention, Shanghai Tower has conducted item-by-item inspections across seven major professional categories: towers, equipment rooms and cabinets, external power supply, batteries, switching power supplies, air conditioners, and indoor distribution systems. Meanwhile, the city has stockpiled 196 frontline support personnel, 89 support vehicles, 129 generators, and other flood prevention materials, and established five joint support groups in the eastern, southern, western, northern, and central regions. The company strictly implements the "Nine Prohibitions" safety requirements for the flood season and has established a 7*24-hour monitoring mechanism.
To test emergency response capabilities, 12 district-level branches of Shanghai Tower recently took the opportunity of Safety Production Month to coordinate with local branches of the three basic telecom enterprises and conduct joint flood disaster emergency communication support drills. These drills aim to enhance collaborative support capabilities, solve practical problems, address weak links, and further improve emergency plans.
At the regional coordination level, the Tower companies of Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang jointly conducted a Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai typhoon disaster emergency communication support drill in 2026, aiming to strengthen the foundation of integrated emergency communication support in the Yangtze River Delta. Tong Haipeng, member of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Shanghai Tower, observed the drill on-site. The company dispatched teams equipped with emergency base station cabins, diesel generators, and other equipment to assist local teams in restoring base station power and conducting repairs. This drill tested the regional coordination response process and enhanced the practicality of cross-provincial joint operations.
The drills conducted by each district branch had different focuses. The Southern District Branch focused on subjects such as water pump drainage, emergency power generation, and 800M communication support, testing emergency combat effectiveness and operational efficiency. The Western District Branch simulated a waterlogging hazard at the Nuli-2 base station, where water accumulated to 15 cm in the equipment room. The rescue team conducted a safety assessment, installed waterproof barriers, stacked sandbags, laid waterproof tarpaulins, and activated water pumps for drainage. The Northern District Branch tested three key areas: emergency response, coordination, and material reserves. The Minhang District Branch conducted a full-process drill at a base station in Pujiang Town, covering dynamic environment alarms, APP dispatch, and on-site repairs, including subjects such as water pump drainage, emergency power generation, and treatment of fractures from falls. The Baoshan District Branch completed subjects including fire extinguishing, water accumulation drainage, and cable splicing at the Baowoyuan base station. The Jiading District Branch focused on four scenarios: power outage, water accumulation, electric shock, and equipment fire, setting up four practical subjects. The Qingpu District Branch simulated a composite scenario at the "Telecom Xinyang" base station involving power interruption, optical cable interruption, and fire caused by heavy rainfall. The Fengxian District Branch simulated flooding and power failure at the Xizha-2 base station. The Jinshan District Branch conducted subjects including fire extinguishing, drainage, leak sealing, and power generation at the Unicom Tagang Village base station. The Chongming District Branch carried out drills on equipment room leak sealing, drainage, and power generation at the Chongxinzha base station, and undertook the 370MHz emergency communication and command dispatch support task during the 2026 Chongming District Comprehensive Flood and Typhoon Emergency Drill, testing dedicated emergency communication support capabilities under extreme conditions.
These drills tested the operability of emergency plans and strengthened collaboration among all parties in areas such as information sharing, resource allocation, and synchronized actions, laying the foundation for practical operations during the flood season. Shanghai Tower stated that, under the unified leadership of the Municipal Communications Administration, it will continue to strengthen various measures and make every effort to ensure flood prevention and typhoon response emergency communication support.
