Chinese authorities are warning that nearly 70 dams weakened by the force of a deadly earthquake are in danger of collapsing, while weather forecasters have issued heavy rain warnings for devastated areas of Sichuan Province.
The Water Resources Ministry issued a statement Sunday, warning that 69 dams in central Sichuan Province are in danger of bursting.
Earlier in the day, the State Meteorological Bureau said heavy rains are on the way, with torrential downfall predicted for tonight and Monday. The rain could trigger mudslides and hamper work to construct shelters for the estimated five million people who lost their homes in Sichuan Province in southwestern China.
The government has raised the official death toll from the May 12 quake to 62,664, with another 23,775 missing. Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Saturday, the death toll could rise past 80,000.
Strong aftershocks since the original 7.9 magnitude quake have continued, with the U.S. National Geographic Survey saying a jolt of 5.8 hit Sichuan Province today. Chinese media said the aftershock killed at least one person and injured around 260 in Sichuan.
The USGS put the epicenter of the aftershock at about 145 kilometers northeast of the devastated city of Mianyang.
Officials say they have not given up hope of finding more survivors from the quake. Rescuers are still trying to reach at least 24 miners trapped underground in three coal mines.
State media reported that an 80-year-old man was pulled from the rubble of his house in Mianzhu Friday. He survived because his wife fed him.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon toured the earthquake zone Saturday. Mr. Ban praised China's rapid response to the disaster, and said the whole world supports China's efforts.
The United Nations has increased its pledge for emergency relief to US$8 million. Local authorities in Sichuan Province say it may take three years to rebuild earthquake damage. Authorities in Qingchuan County say the area is not habitable, and 30,000 residents will have to be relocated permanently. Emergency crews are working to secure 15 sources of radiation they have identified in rubble from the quake. China's Environment Ministry says there have been no accidental releases of radiation. :tiphat:

BEIJING, May 25 (Xinhua) -- All the barrier lakes (or quake lakes) formed after the massive May 12 earthquake in southwest China's Sichuan Province are "under control" but the situation is still grim, said Vice Minister of Water Resources E Jingping on Sunday.
Heavy rains forecast for the area over the next three days are a major threat, as the additional water build-up in the lakes could cause the landslide barriers that formed them to burst, flooding nearby areas, E told a news conference.
The 8.0-magnitude earthquake, aftershocks and landslides created 35 such lakes, with 34 in Sichuan, posing a new danger to more than 700,000 of the people who survived the deadly quake, the vice minister said.
E admitted that these lakes posed a challenge for the government's efforts to prevent secondary disasters in the quake regions.
The biggest concern is the Tangjiashan lake, the largest of the34 quake lakes in Sichuan, whose water level rose by nearly 2 meters Saturday to 723 meters, only 29 meters below the lowest part of the barrier.
About 1,600 armed police officers and People's Liberation Army soldiers were hiking on Sunday toward the Tangjiashan lake, hoping to blast away its landslide barrier before it bursts and causes a flood.
Earlier attempts to send military helicopters on the same mission were hampered by adverse weather and low visibility at the lake.
The ministry has drawn up evacuation plans for communities downstream of the 19 quake lakes at high risk of bursting, E said. He did not provide an estimate of the people who might have to move.
The massive earthquake also left 69 reservoirs in danger of collapse in Sichuan. Another 310 reservoirs were in "highly dangerous" situations and more than 1,400 posed a moderate risk, according to E.
Steps have been taken to tackle the problem, E said, such as completely draining the 69 collapse-prone reservoirs, lowering water levels at 826 others and putting all the damaged reservoirs under 24-hour observation.
The ministry wants to fix the reservoirs in the "highly dangerous" and more risky categories before July, when the rainy season is expected to start in the quake regions, he said.
Priority has been given to the Zipingpu dam, which is only 17 kilometers from the quake epicenter of Wenchuan County and would threaten 11 million lives on the downstream Chengdu Plain if it collapsed, E said. However, he said, the dam was structurally stable and safe despite some minor damage.
After planned explosion, experts opened wider the mouth of a major barrier lake on Shiting River Sunday afternoon, which was about 5 kilometers upstream from Hongbai County of Shifang City. The mouth width almost doubled to 17.3 meters, with per second discharge increased by 8.8 cubic meters to 30.4 cubic meters, according to the Ministry of Water Resources. The lake was the most dangerous one among the six formed in Shifang after the earthquake. Meanwhile, 803 hydropower stations were damaged in the quake nationwide, including 481 in Sichuan. :tiphat: http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2008-05/26/content_8252684.htm

The colored markers are the quakes; one color for each day. The people are cities. I'm surprised this map has had 420+ hits.

China Hit by Strongest Aftershock Since Deadly Quake (Update2)

By Ed Johnson and Tian Ying

May 25 (Bloomberg) -- China was hit by the strongest aftershock since the May 12 earthquake that killed more than 62,600 people. The water ministry said 69 dams are in danger of collapse from the first quake.

A temblor of 6.4 magnitude jolted Qingchuan county of Sichuan at 4:21 p.m. today, according to the China National Seismic Network. The U.S. Geological Survey measured the strength at 6. Two people were killed and 480 injured in the aftershock, which was felt across China, Xinhua News Agency reported.

The latest quake destroyed about 270,000 houses, adding to the more than 4.7 million leveled earlier this month in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces. The government had already called for 3.3 million tents and said it will build 1.5 million temporary houses for quake survivors.

One person was killed today in Guangyuan City in Sichuan province and one in Longnan City in Gansu province in northwestern China, Xinhua said. Sichuan is China's fourth-most populous province with about 43 million people as of 2000 while 26 million live in Gansu, according to the United Nations.

Sixty-nine reservoirs are in ``immediate'' danger of bursting, E. Jingping, deputy minister of the Ministry of Water Resources, said at a press conference before the aftershock. The military is trying to prevent an artificial lake in Tangjiashan from flooding its banks after accumulating 100 million cubic meters of water.

The May 12 quake had claimed 62,664 lives and injured 358,816 as of noon today in Beijing, according to the State Council, or Cabinet. The death toll may rise to ``a level of 70,000, 80,000 or more,'' Premier Wen Jiabao said as he toured the area with United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.

Quake Resistant

The temporary houses, designed to last for three years, will be made of quake-resistant materials and offer 20 square meters (215 square feet) of floor space each, Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development Jiang Weixin said yesterday in the provincial capital, Chengdu, state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.

An 80-year-old disabled man was rescued alive in Mianzhu city of Sichuan, 266 hours after the earthquake, the China News Agency reported. There are 23,775 people still missing, according to the government.

The 7.9-magnitude temblor left more than 5 million homeless. President Hu Jintao has ordered domestic manufacturers to make more tents as the relief effort, which rescued almost 84,000 people from the rubble of collapsed buildings, now focuses on housing, feeding survivors and preventing the spread of disease.

Electricity Supply

Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang yesterday called for stepped-up efforts to fully restore electricity supply. Power has been partially restored in 16 counties in Sichuan, although the two hardest-hit counties, Beichuan and Lixian, are still blacked out, Xinhua said.

China's government ``demonstrated extraordinary leadership to overcome this natural disaster,'' Ban said yesterday. ``If we work hard, we can overcome this. The whole world stands behind you and supports you.''

The earthquake damaged highways and local roads throughout Sichuan, causing 47.8 billion yuan ($6.9 billion) in wreckage to transportation infrastructure and slowing the relief effort, Xinhua reported, citing the province's transportation department.

Some sections of seven expressways were severely ruined and tunnels and bridges on five national highways were destroyed, according to the report. In rural areas, more than 17,000 kilometers (10,566 miles) of roads were demolished.

The government is setting up a 70 billion yuan fund to pay for reconstruction, and government departments have been told to cut spending by 5 percent to divert funds for rebuilding. Disaster-relief allocations reached 15 billion yuan yesterday.

The May 12 earthquake was the most powerful to hit China, the world's most populous country, since a magnitude 8.6 quake struck Tibet in 1950, killing 1,526 people. A 7.5 magnitude temblor in Tangshan in the northeast killed 250,000 in 1976, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. China's seismology department said the Sichuan quake had a magnitude of 8.

Epidemic prevention work is arduous.

"Epidemic prevention teams at the earlier, more effective immunization." Guangdong health and epidemic prevention teams, vice captain, CDC deputy director of Guangzhou Municipal Yang Zhicong said. With the Ministry of Health sent 3,000 vaccination teams arrived, a break-in "a major post-disaster epidemic" of the war, Dujiangyan in Sichuan Province, Pengzhou, Wenchuan, Maoxian, North River, County, Ping Wu, Mianzhu, Shifang, Ching-chuan, the justifications for the 11 counties hardest hit quietly started.

"Basis, trivial, lasting, perhaps we should adhere to the time will soon be forgotten," This is the immunization battle.
杨智聪对本报记者说。​
Yang Zhicong to this reporter said.Disaster on the land, which is immediately rushed rescue after the second war - its perseverance and patience of our high degree of the test, perhaps beyond imagination.

To the disaster areas have been more, based in Dujiangyan city of Guangzhou City earthquake relief volunteer medical and health services team, the Haizhu District of Guangzhou City People's Hospital, the first vice president of Lin Daoxuan has been on a very urgent distress impressive.

Vaccination teams did not reach the village for help

That was May 18 in the evening. Four walk from the town of Dujiangyan City, happy to walk out of the mainland volunteers cried begged them quickly to the two villages and were told Yongsheng Yongshou village to village."The villagers after the earthquake there has been a strange skin diseases, many blisters, very itchy, grasping will be broken." In addition, there are many villagers there fever and diarrhea symptoms.

A female volunteers in the field of a nursing school student, she cried urgently, "tomorrow will certainly be going to look at the villagers."

years of experience to Lin Daoxuan particularly worried about this is a precursor of post-disaster epidemic. He rushed to Guangzhou with the two medical volunteers rushed to the village, after a major earthquake in the first batch of medical workers in the village. In the village have been dozens of villagers in a more serious skin diseases. After diagnosis, this is a special skin rash.
"Fortunately, through the inspection found that these cases are sporadic cases, the groups do not belong to an outbreak of the epidemic.'s Condition before because they did not contact each other.";) Lin Daoxuan said.

To further confirm the source of the disease, Guangzhou medical volunteers also collected water samples and went to the local CDC for testing.
?经过检测,这些水源也没有受到污染。?​
"After testing, these water sources have not been contaminated." ;)

"Earthquake occurred after the collapse of a large number of local housing, the villagers have little bathing, the poor state of health, but after the earthquake, a large number of insects to escape, people can easily be insect bites that this may be many villagers suffering from strange skin disease causes . "Lin Daoxuan said. "Fortunately, we are very timely to control the spread of the epidemic."
"To the earlier, more effective immunization"

A lot of people and livestock casualties, often the Taiyupangtuo, plant after the collapse of the biochemistry leakage, for the long wait for the redevelopment of living in tents among the masses in disaster areas eat or drink, the transmission of the virus, the daily excretion, think of these, for many years engaged in epidemic prevention work Guangzhou CDC Director Dr. Yang Zhicong Zhouzhao Mei will be the first few to January 1. "Earthquakes and other disasters not the same, a lot of geological disasters caused by environmental change, will increase the difficulty of epidemic prevention work, especially this time such a large number of casualties.

So the next day received an order in the earthquake that day, he and his team in two hours completed before the assembly.
?到得越早,对防疫工作开展越有利。?​
"To the earlier, the better it will carry out epidemic prevention work."

Yang Zhicong Guangdong Province where the sanitation and epidemic prevention teams to arrive on the 14th in the hardest hit Jiangyou City. But this is not their destination, their goal is the nanbazhen Ping Wuxian. May 16, from 18 members of the first detachment of the road crew. "Prior to, it was with us that as long as half an hour, but we take a first team players, three hours failed to go." In going to southern dam section of mountain road, the constant aftershocks caused by a large number of landslides and mountain Landslides.

第一支分队进入南坝后立即音讯全无。​
The first team to enter the South Bahou no audio. In anxiously waiting for a long time, finally have the players talk thinking, child care run by the people in the disaster areas to a small corps with a note: "Road difficult to follow, not to send people to come in, do not come looking for us. You in the original And standby, we are here to do. "

"We were the first at-arms of the hardest hit epidemic prevention teams, which carry out effective prevention work very effectively. So now near the disaster area are not epidemic." Yang Zhicong of their team members are very satisfied with the performance, he has been a treasure Dam up from the south with a small note. Until yesterday, Guangdong's health and epidemic prevention teams this still retains two detachments of the state of their own work, one in the South Pa insisted that a Jiangyou in urban settlements of people in the disaster areas.

"The epidemic prevention work is very complicated"

?防疫的工作很繁杂?。​
"The epidemic prevention work is very complicated." Guangzhou CDC emergency doctor Cai Wenfeng to prevent mosquito bites, wearing a pair of high-Dare Tian Jun Xue, also a pair of trousers specially Cypriots in Xuetong, this is the unity of vaccination team members dressed up.
他刚从重灾区南坝的响岩镇回来。​
He had just the hardest hit south of the dam phonolite town back. "We are very full day of the mission, people in the disaster areas settlements, disaster, ambulance, the materials focus, different work."

响岩镇是一个受灾点,部分灾区群众就地安置。​
Phonolite town is a disaster, some people in the disaster areas of local integration. Cai Wenfeng said that his focus on three elements, dealing with drinking water, garbage and feces. Them to the town, like the scout as "a water pipe along the ground every check drinking water, living water, has just begun to see when, plumbing, water flow is out of the red." Earthquake , Usually a number of surface impurities into the water, "water discoloration that high metal content, can not drink, to tell the local people in the disaster areas."

Settlements is that they refuse to go to certain places, "must be done Xiaosha treatment, if necessary, burned. We houses after the earthquake collapsed, it is necessary to escape, who was on the garbage heap of? hot weather, we must remind Local people in the disaster areas to guard against landfill dissemination of the bacteria. "
最后一个是厕所。​
Last one is the toilet. Toilets have collapsed, the villagers would like to casually find a solution at the remote, this is a great hidden dangers. "To enable more convenient for the villagers, they would like to give local people a good way, the conditions did not build toilets, as long as the ground Wage Keng on the line, deepened, we all concentrated in the solution here, from time to time for several Xiaosha And then buried and then dug another. This is simple and consistent with immunization requirements. "He says with a laugh, epidemic prevention work is the wisdom of the test.

Health education is also one of the epidemic prevention work, this looks simple task is not easy to complete. Many local people do not understand Mandarin, Cai Wenfeng Shengsilijie Jin also spent a good little effect Finally, he thought a good way to find a few words Jidong Sichuan and the masses to understand the language training so that they use words in Sichuan where the masses " Propaganda. "

"Everyone had to ask people in the disaster areas"

As from the north-the last areas, Jiangyou City Taipingzhen Xishan Road has a concentration of people in the disaster areas settlements.
的大马路。​
The reporter saw yesterday, the settlements on the row over the tents, hundreds of tents occupied one kilometer long, 30 meters wide around the Main Road.
约1400名灾区群众被安置在这里,主要来自重灾区北川、平武等地。​
About 1,400 people in the disaster areas were placed in here, mainly from the hardest hit northern Sichuan, Wu Ping, and other places.
King Qin Long has not remember that this is their first day of several moves to do this has opened up a tent. He is also the Guangzhou Municipal Disease Prevention and Control Center emergency staff of the Section, responsible for the settlement of the epidemic prevention. The young man says with a laugh twice a day Tili Huo Xiaosha spraying is not hard, he is the best test of emergency post-disaster disease surveillance. Disaster areas because of the original outbreak of more than 500 points for the entire report had been destroyed, developed a mobile phone in an emergency contingency epidemic reporting system, the people in the disaster areas of disease surveillance can only rely on the most primitive and the most trivial "message."

"Everyone had to ask people in the disaster areas, today there are no fever, heat stroke, cough, hand, foot and mouth disease, skin diseases, diarrhea, etc.. I do have to register immediately." May 21, King Qin Long and his colleagues doors Disinfection Yaozao circulated here, people in the disaster areas and collection of disease information. From 10:10 until 12:00, a total of 25 tents survey, involving 203 people. The subject of those symptoms appear the rate of 12.32 percent, mainly children under the age of 14. One survey found that the people in the disaster areas in the nine symptoms of fever, diarrhea 9; four children with the medical point after treatment has cured no one in Hong Yanbing and hand, foot and mouth disease in clinical manifestations.
这让小景他们感到很欣慰。​
This small they are very pleased that King.

"Collective canteens can not let go." Daily meals people in the disaster areas, mainly in the rural administrative units, from simple structures of the collective focus on the supply canteens, food canteens collective health is point people in the disaster areas to prevent food poisoning Key points.BA Xiang to Chen as an example, the collective canteen on a simple, four big Tieguo, a steel pot, a large chopping board, plus a dressing-food items.

"They are the main food for rice, cucumber, radish, cabbage, not meat. This is because the meat of the relatively high risk of food poisoning." King Qin Long and his colleagues as the most discerning taste, "hot days Shengfan May trigger intestinal disease, Chinese cabbage and radish may be pesticide residues, "to their canteen has formulated strict attention to matters," leaving people in the disaster areas Shengfan to eat, wash vegetables, raw and cooked separately, cooked Cook, the use of Safe water and raw materials. "

?真的是一场硬仗?
"It was a tough battle"

And the vaccination campaign seems trivial and should be relatively simple, but behind the grim thriller is an ambush.
早在5月​
As early as May 16, the Russian national immunization division chief Gen-satisfied by the first quarter Onyango said that the earthquake disaster prone to plague. He happened to India in 1994 a strong earthquake as an example, when the earthquake zone rats migration led to many people infected with plague, Russia, "even with the suspension of some of India's air traffic."
"China should take in the earthquake-stricken area of large-scale infectious disease prevention measures." He said: "China has set up quarantine security system. Chinese counterparts know that in such circumstances should be how to do."

"It was a tough battle." China Disease Prevention and Control Centre-earthquake relief vaccination team vice captain, infectious disease prevention and control center, deputy director of the Institute Wang Jian said after arriving in the disaster areas, the post-disaster epidemic may have four First, gastro-intestinal infections, and the other is arbovirus transmitted diseases, mosquito bites that spread the disease, and the third is the natural focus of zoonotic diseases and diseases (such as the plague), four skin damage caused by infectious diseases.
更令他担​
He even more worrying is that many disaster areas in the rain, "Once the garbage and feces in the pathogen was a rain-are everywhere, is likely to water pollution, but now the children's immunity is also weak, the sick once Lin Yu , Opened the spread of disease, the consequences would be unthinkable. "

From international experience, both the 2001 earthquake in India, the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan, or just the Myanmar storm disaster, the disaster after the outbreak of sounding the alarm.

Do a good job of preparing to fight a protracted war

Wenchuan "the site several times in the Tangshan area, was severely damaged the town is located around. This makes vaccination front very long. Linked to urban and rural areas, in addition to human remains, a large number of livestock poultry and other animal bodies. Addition , Around the blackout, large freezer or damage, or stop working, resulting in most of perishable goods. Are rotting in the garbage, also an alarming number. "Wenchuan the earthquake could trigger the epidemic," Tangshan Earthquake "author Qian Gang, all this and the lack of supplies in the Tangshan different, the epidemic prevention work great. "The current epidemic prevention teams from the provinces, Fenbing cooperation, a province in a package, the command is the correct policy decisions, but unknown forces are adequate immunization."

Yang Zhicong and he has the same concern. "The soul-stirring and rescue is very different, vaccination is the foundation of the work, trivial and requires patience, and the slow progress in the fundamental feeling you can not." He said with a smile, "perhaps only a year after the epidemic can not see, we have to be Success. "He has made the fight a protracted war preparations. :tiphat:

Special Report: Strong quake jolts SW China

About 1,800 armed police officers and People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers were hiking on Sunday toward an expanding "quake lake" in southwest Sichuan Province, hoping to blast away its landslide barrier before it bursts and causes a flood.

"The rescuers have 10 kilograms of dynamite each and are expected to arrive at the site on Sunday night," a PLA spokesman told Xinhua early on Sunday.
Two Xinhua reporters have joined a branch of 150 armed police officers to take a bus from Mianyang Airport to the county seat of Beichuan and then hike to Tangjiashan barrier lake.
The team were about two kilometers from Beichuan county seat at 5 p.m.
Their trekking would be long and hard, with high mountains to climb and potential landslides. "We've found a local guide in Beichuan County who is willing to take us there," said Gong Juncang, an officer. "We tried once before, but couldn't make it to the top after 12 hours."

An afershock measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale at 4:21 p.m. on Sunday, the strongest since the May 12 quake, could still hamper their efforts.
The tremor was felt clearly in Beichuan, where a reporter with the Chinese Central Television said he "could feel the ground and the mountain were shaking."
Earlier attempts by the PLA and armed police to send military helicopters on the same mission were hampered by adverse weather and low visibility at the Tangjiashan lake site in Beichuan.
The local meteorological bureau forecast high winds and thunderstorms for the area on Sunday and Monday.
The Tangjiashan quake lake, which is in danger of bursting as water builds up in it, is one of the more than 30 such lakes in rivers blocked by landslides from the earthquake and thousands of aftershocks.
The lake is 3.2 km upstream from the Beichuan County seat, from which thousands of survivors have been evacuated since Wednesday.
Its barrier is in danger of bursting as the water level rose by nearly 2 meters on Saturday to 723 meters, only 29 meters below the lowest part of the barrier, which measured 752 meters high.
At an emergency meeting in Chengdu, the Sichuan capital, on Sunday, Vice-Premier Hui Liangyu ordered rescuers to remove the risk "with utmost effort and within the shortest possible time." :tiphat: http://www.cctv.com/english/20080525/103870.shtml
