Daily Gansu Net Jishi Mountain, December 29 (New Gansu Gansu Daily reporter Wang Hu) The fifth press conference of the 6.2-magnitude earthquake in Jishishan was held in Jishishan County tonight. The reporter learned that as of 15 o'clock on the 29th, the affected people in the four hard-hit townships and towns such as Dahejia Town, Shiyuan Town, Liugou Township, and Liuji Township who need to be resettled have moved into prefabricated houses, and the earthquake relief work has achieved major phased results and has been fully transferred to the stage of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction.

After the 6.2-magnitude earthquake occurred in Jishishan, the provincial party committee and government resolutely implemented the spirit of General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions, thoroughly implemented Premier Li Qiang's deployment requirements when inspecting and guiding the winter resettlement and post-disaster recovery and reconstruction of the people in the earthquake-stricken areas, quickly made comprehensive arrangements for the earthquake relief work, and always adhered to the principle of "putting the people first, being problem-oriented, responding quickly, highlighting key points, seeking truth from facts, and respecting science" under the strong guidance of the central and relevant state ministries and commissions, and with the strong support of fraternal provinces and cities, officers and men of the armed forces, and all sectors of society The principle of uniting and leading the vast number of cadres and masses to race against time, go all out, unite as one, gather a strong joint force for earthquake relief, forcefully, orderly and efficiently promote emergency rescue, emergency resettlement, transitional resettlement, post-disaster recovery and reconstruction of all stages, and make every effort to ensure the safety of people's lives and property. While promoting the implementation of each stage of the work, we should plan ahead, make overall arrangements, and start the next stage of work simultaneously, so as to achieve interlocking and seamless connection.

Emergency rescue is swift and orderly. The Gansu Provincial Earthquake Level II Emergency Response and Natural Disaster Relief Level I Emergency Response were quickly activated, and the Provincial Earthquake Relief Field Command Headquarters was established under the commander-in-chief of Hu Changsheng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Ren Zhenhe, Governor of Gansu Province. There are 11 working groups under the command that work separately according to their responsibilities. Two and a half hours after the earthquake, Hu Changsheng, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Ren Zhenhe, Governor of the province, led the main responsible comrades of the member units of the Provincial Earthquake Relief Headquarters to arrive at the front line of the epicenter, and directed the deployment of rescue teams overnight to carry out personnel search and rescue, resettlement of the affected people, and material deployment, and always adhered to the front line of the disaster area to command the earthquake relief work.

The Provincial Earthquake Relief Site Headquarters coordinated and dispatched the Provincial Fire and Rescue Corps, the Provincial Forest Fire Corps, the Provincial Professional Rescue Team, and the Social Emergency Rescue Force to rush to the disaster area as soon as possible to carry out search and rescue without blind spots. Officers and men of a brigade of the 76th Group Army of the Western Theater Army were dispatched overnight to the earthquake-stricken area of Jishishan, which was seriously affected by the earthquake, within four hours of the earthquake, and carried out personnel search and rescue and road cleanup. The Air Force of the Western Theater dispatched a number of transport planes and helicopters to transport rescue forces and survey the damage to the disaster. The Gansu Armed Police Corps dispatched officers and men, vehicles, and emergency rescue equipment to undertake tasks such as personnel search and rescue, transfer of the wounded, road dredging, and tent building. The Gansu Provincial Military Region organized officers and soldiers and militia to carry out tasks such as personnel search and rescue, checkpoint duty, road clearance, and material transportation in groups.

The public security organs dispatched police forces to devote themselves to rescue, search and rescue, and maintain public order. Medical experts from Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Beijing Jishuitan Hospital, West China Hospital of Sichuan University, and Peking University Sixth Hospital, as well as experts dispatched from the provincial level, and medical personnel from prefectures and counties were mixed to carry out treatment of the wounded to ensure that the injured received effective treatment at the first time. Professional repair personnel such as electric power, transportation, and communications rushed to the disaster area to restore all damaged roads, restore power supply to all damaged power lines, and rush through all communication base stations and interrupted communication optical cables that were decommissioned due to the disaster within 24 hours after the earthquake. As of 15 o'clock on December 19, after repeated on-site investigations and house-by-house checks, it was confirmed that there were no missing people in the disaster area, and the search and rescue work in the earthquake-stricken area was fully completed.

Emergency resettlement is timely and efficient. In view of the high altitude and low temperature in the earthquake area, the people in the dangerous areas should be turned around as much as possible through tent placement, resettlement in other places, and resettlement in public housing. The Provincial Earthquake Relief Field Headquarters urgently dispatched tents, bedding, cotton clothes, stoves, food, drinking water, medicines and other materials, and coordinated coal mining enterprises to transport coal to the disaster area. Persist in adapting measures to local and timely conditions, combining scattered resettlement and centralized resettlement in the vicinity, speeding up the dispatch and installation of fixed transitional resettlement housing, promptly distributing disaster relief materials, setting up collective canteens in the vicinity of resettlement sites, and promptly and fully equipping the medicines needed for the prevention and treatment of influenza and other diseases, to ensure that the people affected by disasters have hot meals, warm clothes and quilts, clean water to drink, safe temporary shelter to keep out the cold, medical services, and a sense of security.

Medical personnel were quickly dispatched to the resettlement sites in the disaster areas to carry out emergency response work such as epidemic prevention and control of infectious diseases and monitoring of drinking water safety, and carried out daily sanitize in living areas, garbage points, livestock burial sites and temporary toilets. Focus on strengthening inspections, guidance, on-site support, and random inspection and monitoring of schools, hospitals, centralized resettlement sites, and feeding sites, to ensure the food safety of the people affected by disasters and rescue personnel. Strengthen the supervision of the quality and safety of earthquake-relief drugs and medical devices, increase the supervision, inspection and sampling of drugs and medical devices supplied to disaster areas, severely crack down on violations of laws and regulations, and strictly prevent fake and inferior drugs and medical devices from entering disaster areas. Comprehensively implement the social assistance policy, disburse relief funds in disaster areas in full and in a timely manner, and promptly include families with basic living difficulties due to disasters into the scope of urban and rural subsistence allowances, support for the extremely poor, and temporary assistance.

Transitional resettlement is in place. The Provincial Earthquake Relief Site Headquarters coordinated the efforts of all parties to build prefabricated houses, and made every effort to do a good job in the fixed transitional resettlement of the affected people. Coordinate the central enterprises and provincial large-scale key enterprises to take the lead in donating, transporting, and building prefabricated houses. The transportation department dispatched more than 700 large-scale transport vehicles to transport the prefabricated houses to the disaster area 24 hours a day. The provincial departments of emergency response, health, housing and construction, public security, and water conservancy have guided Linxia Prefecture to print and distribute work plans for the basic living assistance, medical treatment, residence security, drinking water safety, and social stability of the affected people, so as to effectively implement the "six haves" guarantee for the affected people.

As of December 23, the safety investigation of the main water conservancy facilities in the earthquake area and all reservoirs within 100 kilometers of the epicenter has been completed, and no safety problems of reservoirs and dams have been found. Organize experts and technical institutions in the province to carry out housing emergency assessment work in the disaster area, and the emergency assessment has been completed as of the 27th. The vast majority of shopping malls, supermarkets, shops, restaurants, farmers' markets, and e-commerce express logistics points in Jishishan County have resumed business, with sufficient supply of daily necessities and generally stable prices, which can meet the consumption needs of the masses. Except for Dahejia Town, the resumption rate of business entities in all townships and towns has reached more than ninety percent. In accordance with the idea of "grasping reconstruction with one hand and teaching with the other" and the principle of "combining online and offline, one school and one policy", the education and teaching order in the disaster area was quickly restored, and by December 25, all schools in Jishishan County had fully resumed classes.

As of 15:00 on the 29th, 15,812 transitional resettlement prefabricated houses for the affected people have been built, and 1,165 prefabricated prefabricated houses for school teaching, accommodation and office use have been built. The relevant supporting facilities are also in place, and the "five links" requirements such as heating, toilets, water, electricity, and communication have been realized.

The implementation of the recovery and reconstruction was initiated. On December 25, the Provincial Jishishan 6.2 magnitude earthquake recovery and reconstruction coordination steering group was formally established, and the earthquake relief work has fully entered the post-disaster reconstruction stage.
