Reporters from the main station visit the frontline of search, rescue and resettlement
At present, the disaster-stricken towns and villages are making every effort to promote the resettlement of the masses, the distribution of cold protection materials, and the maintenance of infrastructure. As prefabricated houses are gradually put into place, the affected people will gradually be transferred to transitional resettlement houses with better thermal insulation conditions.
A special search mark for more efficient rescue!
One of the villages hardest hit by the earthquake, a village in Gangche Township, Baqing County, a reporter found a special mark on the wall of a collapsed house:There is a “C” in the box, and “CX-4” and “10.23” are written below.
Local firefighting officials said such markings are crucial to their search and rescue efforts:
- A “C” in the box means that all search and rescue efforts for the house have been completed;
- “CX-4” is the abbreviation of the search team that completed this search and rescue work – Qamdo Fire Fighting No. 4 Search Team;
- “10.23” is the time when search and rescue is completed.
This earthquake occurred in a high-cold and high-altitude area, and all affected locations are extremely far away. Therefore, fire rescue forces must carry out search and rescue operations in the shortest time and with the highest efficiency. This symbol can ensure an organic cooperation between different rescue teams. After all the work is completed, mark it and tell the rescue team that comes later: Our work has been completed, and you can invest your time and energy in the next work.
