I saw this news early yesterday morning, a 6.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, with an epicenter depth of 10 kilometers, which has killed 118 people.
Some houses in Dahejia Town, Jishishan County, which was severely affected by the earthquake, cracked and collapsed, and the damage was serious. According to reports, rescue forces are currently carrying out dragnet search and rescue in 10 administrative villages in Dahejia Town, the most severely affected area.

According to the statistics of the aftershocks of the earthquake released by the China Earthquake Network, as of 12:00 on December 19, a total of 306 aftershocks were recorded, including 9 of magnitude 3.0 and above, and 297 of magnitude 3.0 or less, and the largest aftershock of 4.1 magnitude is about 14 kilometers away from the main shock.
After the earthquake, the China Earthquake Network Center organized experts to study and analyze the seismic activity near Jishi Mountain in Gansu Province and concluded that the earthquake was located in the southeast of Gansu, about 3 kilometers away from the fault on the northern margin of the nearest fault, Lazhi Mountain. The preliminary results of the focal mechanism solution show that the earthquake is a thrust rupture.
The epicenter is located in Liugou Township, Jishishan County, 8 kilometers away from Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, 39 kilometers away from Linxia City, and 102 kilometers away from Lanzhou City. Lanzhou, Qingyang, Pingliang, Tianshui, Longnan, Dingxi, Wuwei, Jinchang and other earthquakes were obviously felt. So far, the earthquake has killed 105 people and damaged 4,782 houses in Gansu.

In addition, 397 people have been injured by the earthquake, including 16 critically injured, 76 seriously injured, 98 moderately injured and 207 mildly injured.
According to the characteristics of the regional structure, historical seismic activity, and seismic sequence type of this earthquake, it is concluded that there is still a possibility of strong aftershocks of magnitude 5 in the original earthquake area in recent days.
After the earthquake, the relevant departments at the provincial level in Gansu, Linxia Prefecture and Jishishan County acted quickly, and rescue forces from all parties rushed to the rescue, and the earthquake relief work such as search and rescue, treatment of the wounded, relocation and resettlement, disaster verification, and infrastructure repair was carried out in an intense and orderly manner.
Up to now, more than 1,500 national comprehensive fire and rescue teams, more than 1,500 public security officers and police, and more than 1,000 officers and soldiers have been mobilized to rush to the disaster area. The Gansu Provincial Earthquake Relief Headquarters Office coordinated with the Provincial Food and Material Reserve Bureau to urgently dispatch the first batch of emergency supplies to the disaster area, including 2,600 cotton tents, 10,400 folding beds, 10,400 quilts, 10,400 cotton mattresses, and 1,000 stoves (including chimneys); The towns (streets) and villages (communities) in the epicenter and surrounding areas did not wait or rely on each other, and quickly carried out early disposal and self-help and mutual rescue, and strived to minimize disaster losses.
We can't tell when the risk will come, and we can't stop the risk from coming, but before the risk comes, we can use financial tools to reduce the economic losses caused by the risk, hoping that more people can be rescued safely.
