In normal times, it must be scenic and peaceful, but on Saturday it is teeming with homeless refugees carrying bundles of belongings, military units moving supplies and people crawling through piles of rubble trying to salvage useable materials. Thousands of blue tents and makeshift shelters line the banks of the Sand River and dot the surrounding hills.
Qingchuan, a town of 30,000, was so badly shaken by the May 12 earthquake that 95 percent of the buildings in town ? those that haven?t already been flattened ? will have to be demolished, according to a government official.
As night falls on Qingchuan, traffic along the river front slows to a trickle. With electricity still out except at a few resettlement camps, people retreat to their shelters, some sitting around small fires. The narrow main street of Qingchuan, lined with vacant four- to six-story buildings, becomes a long black corridor, lit up only when the occasional truck drives through. :tiphat: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24818544/

Here's a Google map I made last week. I hope it works; I've had some script problems and sometimes the markers don't appear like they should. You may have to click again on *China earthquake*.

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 preparing to drain swelling quake lake


www.chinaview.cn 2008-05-26

Special report: Strong Earthquake Jolts SW China

MIANYANG, Sichuan, May 26 (Xinhua) -- Rescuers are preparing to dynamite the barrier of a swelling quake lake, which has posed a new threat after a devastating 8.0-magnitude temblor ravaged southwest China's Sichuan Province.

Helicopters had airdropped professionals and materials for the operation by 7:49 a.m. Monday onto the dam of the barrier lake at Tangjiashan in Beichuan County, which was formed by landslides that blocked a local river known as Jianhe after the May 12 earthquake.


Sunday's adverse weather hampered the operation, but the weather and visibility were fine on Monday morning, said a spokesman with the Mianyang Airport Headquarters for Quake Relief Flight Operation.

A Mig-26 helicopter had carried a large bulldozer from Leigu in the vicinity of Tangjiashan which could only be reached on foot currently.

As a backup operation, a group of armed policemen arrived on foot at the Tangjiashan lake area at 00:35 a.m. Monday and set to work immediately. They would assault the lake barrier in case bad weather and low visibility continued to hamper airdrop efforts.

The policemen were among about 1,800 armed police officers and People's Liberation Army (PLA) soldiers who started hiking on Sunday toward the swelling lake, some 3.2 km upstream from the Beichuan County seat, from which thousands of quake survivors have been evacuated since last Wednesday.

A PLA officer told Xinhua that the soldiers each carried 10 kilograms of dynamite and planned to carry out small scale blast to drain the swelling water.

The lake dam 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.

The risks were only heightened as high winds and thunderstorms were forecasted for the area on Sunday and Monday and the area was hit by a strong aftershock measuring 6.4 magnitude on the Richter scale on Sunday.

The lake is now holding more than 128 million cubic meters of water and may cause a devastating flooding if the barrier bursts.

Altogether 35 barrier lakes were formed by landslides after the May 12 earthquake, which has left 62,664 people dead and 23,775 more missing.

Emergency counter measures for rat removal

An emergency counter measure for rat removal has been implemented in six disaster areas throughout Sichuan Province to prevent any outbreaks of bubonic plague. These areas include Mianyang, Deyang, Guangyuan, Aba, Chengdu and Ya'an.

The Sichuan disaster relief authorities released plans to prevent a potential outbreak of bubonic plague at the May 25 news conference. An emergency plan has been implemented throughout Sichuan disaster areas, especially in rural areas.

Under the coordination of health ministry, a number of units for rat removal have been set up, including 15 groups aimed at bubonic plague prevention, 180 professionals acting as plague monitoring and control experts and an additional team of 3,000 miscellaneous volunteers. Poison bait has been placed in 2,172 victims' living quarters, 735,000 houses and 1.049 million collapsed buildings that have cleaned up as of May 24.

The emergency counter plan was devised and implemented by the Ministry of Health. The plan requires disease control and prevention centers and professional bubonic plague prevention agencies to stand ready to go to any potential plague scene and prepare medicine and/or necessary equipment in advance. Quarantines will be set upon any outbreaks of bubonic plague, with the range defined by experts.

Bubonic plague is spread through two ways: via a fleabite from insects carrying the disease while living on rats, or via a bite from an already infected rat.

Professionals have explained that earthquakes can destroy the natural living environment and create a change in contact between human beings and infected animals and fleas. This alteration may result in a higher risk of an outbreak of bubonic plague.

According to Hou Xiongfei, director of the Information Office of the Sichuan Provincial Government, plague-monitoring reports indicate at present no abnormal increase of rats and no cases of bubonic plague.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT
China targets 'quake lake' as flood fears grow
<table align="right" border="0" cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0" width="160"><tbody><tr><td>

</td></tr></tbody></table> by Staff Writers
Mianzhu, China (AFP) May 26, 2008
Soldiers raced Monday to unblock a river that was dammed by landslides in China's deadly earthquake two weeks ago as flood prevention became a top priority in the disaster zone. More than 86,000 people are dead or missing following the massive quake on May 12 that destroyed entire towns and villages across an area of mountainous Sichuan province the size of South Korea.
China has had to cope with thousands of aftershocks and a myriad of other potential disasters while trying to provide food, shelter and medical help for the millions of people left homeless.
Underlining those dangers, an aftershock measuring 6.4 on the Richter scale shook Sichuan province on Sunday -- the strongest since the original 8.0-magnitude tremor -- killing at least six people and injuring hundreds.
The aftershock also led to the collapse of a further 70,000 homes on top of the nearly six million destroyed two weeks ago.
The US Geological Survey, using a different scale, put the quake magnitude at 5.8.
Meanwhile, a lake on the Jian river in devastated Beichuan county that was created by landslides continued to build, raising fears of major flooding downstream if it burst.
State television showed a team of 1,800 Chinese soldiers and police arriving early Monday at the river after a long hike through remote, mountainous terrain.
A helicopter was also seen lifting a bulldozer into the area.
The soldiers carried dynamite and had orders to blast away the landslide rubble. Areas immediately downstream had already been evacuated.
With heavy rain forecast for the next three days, the swelling body of water is one of about 35 so-called "quake lakes" that have formed and could cause huge problems if they burst.
Vice Minister of Water Resources E Jingping said Sunday that no imminent danger was seen at the "quake lakes" but warned that expected heavy rains could heighten flood risks.
E also said the quake had left 69 dams in danger of bursting and had created "dangerous situations" at hundreds of others.
But he said steps had been taken to alleviate the danger, including draining or lowering the water levels at hundreds of reservoirs.
While specialists focused on the flood dangers, hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers, relief workers and ordinary volunteers pressed on with the enormous task of helping the traumatised survivors.
Many are now living in tents or hastily erected pre-fabricated houses in temporary camps scattered across the quake zone.
But an untold number are still living without shelter, with the government warning last week it was in desperate need of millions of tents and that the reconstruction work would take at least three years.
China has appealed to the outside world for help and more foreign aid arrived on Sunday as the first of an expected 12 Russian military flights bearing tents, blankets and other relief supplies landed in Chengdu, Sichuan's capital.
Aid has poured in from across the globe, including the United States, Europe, Japan and Australia.
Premier Wen Jiabao thanked the international community for its help during a visit on Saturday to the devastated town of Yingxiu, the epicentre of the quake, with UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon.
Highlighting the continued tensions across Sichuan, Sunday's aftershock sent people in the provincial capital of Chengdu fleeing from buildings.
"Houses started to shake and everybody went out into the street," Chengdu resident Lou Taiyi told AFP.
"We were thinking (May 12) was behind us but it is continuing," he said.
And grief turned to anger for about two dozen parents of children killed in the May 12 quake.
The parents staged a rare protest Sunday in Mianzhu town, demanding a probe into whether shoddy school construction was to blame for the deaths of their children.
