Rescuers brave cold to help residents in quake-hit areas

As of 3 am on Wednesday, 580 tents had been set up for quake-affected residents, with sufficient relief supplies, including food, water, heaters, quilts, folding beds and emergency lighting equipment.

Each tent can accommodate around 10 people. Families with children and the elderly can be arranged to stay in the same tent whenever possible. The resettlement site provides quiet and convenient areas for them.

The local power authority is providing electricity to the quake-stricken area through an emergency supply system so that residents can use heating equipment in the tents.
