2009-02-25来源： 四川新闻网
On 24th Feb, Dujiangyan government published the announcement on distributing allowance for residential housing reconstruction and reinforcement. However the procedure is loaded with red tape.
Inline with the announcement, the allowance for those whose housing completely went down will be directly transferred to residents’ Special Personal Account. But application and a letter of commitment need to be signed before Dujiangyan Finance Bureau confirm personal information and get it registered and then, open the account.
The allowance ranges from 5 thousand to 35 thousand depending on the standard of the family income (Low-income: 29-35 thousand; Medium-income: 23-29 thousand; High-income:5-10 thousand.)
Those who need the allowance for repair or reinforcement have to complete a series of paperwork: register in relevant government department before starting the repair or reinforcement work, finish the work, file it on a record – then the City Finance Bureau allots the money to the governments of towns and townships, from where the residents receive the cash (Slight damage: 3000; Medium damage: 5000; Serious damage: 8000).
“It is important to be certain that people are using these funds for housing.” explained the relevant official.
With immediate effect, eligible residents in Dujiangyan can receive their allowance transferred or by cash. The cut-off time of this is by 30th July this year. Public Supervision Hotline: 8713 1993.

2009-02-20 来源: 新华网
On 20th, The Finance Commission of Hong Kong Legislative Council approved the proposal of an additional 4 billion Hong Kong dollars that will be added to the Trust Fund of Assistance on Reconstruction in Sichuan Quake-hit Region, which made the total capital of the fund rise to 6 billion.
According to Lin Ruilin, the commander of Hong Kong Department of Mainland Affairs, in July 2008, the Council had granted 2 billion Hong Kong dollars as assistance in the first phrase of the reconstruction. This batch of money will be used in 103 projects, including 80 in realms like schools, medical rehabilitation, and social welfare facilities; and 23 in Wolong Natural reserve.
The fund had started to accept applications from Hong Kong NGOs that were working on post-quake relief work in Sichuan in Oct 2008. By Dec, 12 application had been approved, the total amount of financial aid was over 87 million.
香港特区立法会财务委员会20日通过特区政府增拨40亿港元的申请。这笔资金将注入“支援四川地震灾区重建工作信托基金”，使基金原有的20亿港元提高到60亿港元，用于第二阶段支援四川地震灾区的重建工作。
香港特区政府政制及内地事务局局长林瑞麟. 08年7月，特区立法会批准开立20亿港元的承担额用以注资基金，支持第一阶段的援建工作。此次申请增拨40亿港元，将用以开展第二阶段共103个援建项目。具体包括学校、医疗康复、社会福利设施等80个项目及23个卧龙自然保护区项目。

唐家山堰塞湖水位高 将清淤和开挖泄流槽
2009-02-19 来源：四川在线-华西都市报
According to a source at the Mianyang City government, silt drainage of the Tangjiashan quake-lake is about to start, which is planned to be implemented in two phases, with an investment of a total of 160 million rmb.
The water level of Tangjiashan Quake Lake has now stabilised at 718 metres, which is lower than it was shortly after the September 24th flood. However the Chengdu Investigation and Design Research Institute of China Hydropower Advisory Group, on the basis of various measurements and tests, urges caution: the lake still post threats to people downstream. Experts underlined that constant heavy rain and aftershock worryingly increased the possibility of mudslide that would cause massive siltation and consequent flooding.
As yet, there is no easy access to this area, and the restoration program recommended in the current feasibility report would be very challenging. In essence, the plan is to excavate deep division channels, leaving 70-80 metre side slopes on 2 banks that consist of silted rock fragments, presenting considerable risk.
In line with the set plan, drainage and clear-up needs to be completed before the flooding season this year, which is a major part of the first phase of the entire project. Deformation inspection, facility installation and construction of levees are required to be finished by the end of 2009.
The estimated total investment of the whole project is approximately 160.41 million, specifically, 52.75 for the first stage and 107.66 for the second.
唐家山堰塞湖目前水位仍高居718米。
“9·24”洪灾后，中国水电顾问集团成都勘测设计研究院受委托，对唐家山堰塞湖一带进行了大量野外勘探、测量、试验等工作，形成结论：唐家山堰塞体整体稳定，但在持续强降雨或强余震等不利工况作用下，两岸边坡特别是堰塞体右岸一些冲沟存在滑坡、崩塌、泥石流等易发山地灾害，若泥石流造成泄流槽较大规模淤堵，有可能产生次生灾害，对下游防洪安全造成严重威胁，并也可能对上游治城灾后重建防洪保安带来影响。
在进场道路未通的情况下，目前制定的“可研报告”推荐的整治方案不确定性因素较多，工程量大，实施难度很高。“可研报告”中按照治城二十年一遇防洪要求，推荐对泄流槽进行大开挖，估计两岸开挖边坡将高达70—80米，且为夹泥碎裂岩，存在安全隐患。
按计划，第一期整治项目包括泄流槽淤塞体的清淤、堰塞体左右山体变形观测和禹里乡治城防洪堤护岸工程。其中，泄流清淤要求在今年主汛期前完成，变形观测设施安装和防洪堤修建要求在2009年底前完成。
整治工程投资估算16041万元，其中：第一期工程投资5275万元，第二期工程投资10766万元。
地震灾区新房很漂亮 就是有点不“方便”
四川在线 (2009-02-17 06:48:24) 来源：四川在线-华西都市报
In a recent official survey conducted in Pengzhou City, it is odd, and in slightly awkward for the researchers to find that 160 villagers in Tian Shengqiao village had moved back to their temporary housings instead of the new villas which were built with financial aid from government, not long after their cheerful moving-in ceremony on Jan 16th.
It is rather difficult for people who haven’t been to the village in person to understand why these villagers are actually complaining about a new house that worth 90 thousand cost them only 20 thousand per family.
But actually, 3 things which are rather necessary and important to the residents were neglected when it was first designed – toilet, kitchen and yard.
Jingqiao Village is near a well-known temple, Bailu Shang Shu Yuan, which is over hundred years old. The local government has been planning to rebuild a temple and also redevelop the tourist business in this region; hence the rebuilt community was unified – planned and designed by Chengdu City government to make sure it consistent with the temple’s architectural style.
However the unified-planned walls are actually not the best choice for the environment where moisture and frost could gradually damage the buildings. More practically, without the traditional yards, where do the residents air their crops and keep their livestock?
It has been a challenging race for Tang Ming, a resident of Tian Shengqiao Village, to rush to the toilet on the hill side behind his new house at 6’o clock, first thing, every morning. “It’s a really long queue.” he said.
And just like many of his neighbours, Tang Ming and his wife have to walk 500m hill road to a “cookout” at the “community camp site” of Tian Shengqiao village, which is actually a couple of abandoned houses.
No kitchen, no toilet, and no place for livestock or poultry…therefore some villagers moved out before Chinese New Year, only 10 days after moving in. “It (the new house) looks good though.” said Tang, “it’s just really inconvenient to take a 500m walk to go to the toilet.”
“We had only 10 days to plan and design 400 reconstruction sites. It’s too little time for too much work.” Wang Songtao, the chief planner of Chengdu City Planning Bureau, explained to us.
Fortunately, after this survey, Chengdu City government has already started countercheck and feedback collection in general. New plan for 446 reconstruction sites is estimated to be finished before March, and sequentially improvement could be seen soon afterwards.

彭州市通济镇天生桥村11组，由于统一规划的新房还没来得及修建厨房和厕所，或是缺乏传统的晾晒场地，160位村民在参加完“春节入住仪式”后，又悄悄搬了出来，继续在临时棚户中凑合……
当地政府准备重建这座小有名气的教堂，一座百年老教堂——白鹿上书院,借地震之机开发旅游，金桥村3组作为景区的一部分也将重建为风格统一的欧式洋房。
统一规划的红砖勾缝外墙，不仅很难和构造柱处理协调，也不适宜山里的气候，容易被霜霖和潮湿侵蚀腐化。更实际的是，大家都没了阳台和院子。今后晾晒粮食和衣服怎么办呢？
每天早上6点起床，57岁的唐明发第一件事就是以百米冲刺的速度，跑到自家新房后的那个山坡上抢厕所——“去晚了，人得排队到啥时候？” 没有厨房、厕所，没有晾晒粮食的坝子，没有鸡圈猪舍……于是有些村民还没等到大年三十又干脆搬回了山上的简陋棚户。“新房挺好看，但上厕所来回要跑一公里，太麻烦了！”
7点多，天空已经露出了鱼肚白。唐明发叫上妻子一起做饭。两人翻过崎岖的山坡来到离新家一里外的天生桥村“野炊营地”。借着几间废弃的砖房，村民们夹道砌起了密密麻麻的锅灶，露天摆放着许多水缸、碗盘和瓜菜。“入住”新房一个月了，野炊的日子还要过多久？唐明发有些迷茫。
“当初对灾区农村住房进行重建规划时，只有10天时间，对于全市400多个重建点位来说，时间太短、量太大，任务确实很艰巨。”成都市规划局总规划师王松涛坦言。
成都市委书记李春城日前实地调研后，天生桥村等成都灾区446个住房重建点位已全部开始全面复查，征求农民意见，预计3月前就将完成新的方案，完善重建新村。
China extends grace period for quake victims who took out loans
Xinhua 2009-01-01 18:16:17
Individuals and enterprises that can’t repay loans because of the May 12th earthquake will get more time, the country’s central bank and banking regulator said Thursday.
Individuals who borrowed from Chinese banks before the quake will be given a grace period of another six months to repay the money. The new deadline is June 30 of this year, according to a joint statement by the People’s Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission.
Corporations will get a longer grace period of another 12 months. Repayment is now due at the end of 2009.
Previously, quake victims were told to repay borrowed money by the end of 2008.
The two agencies also urged banks not to push for loan repayment if debtors in the quake-hit regions fall behind in payments. They said lenders should not levy fines for defaults or add default notices to borrowers’ credit records during the extended grace period.
The May 12 earthquake left more than 87,000 people dead or missing. Millions more are homeless.

Chuan Kong Recovery Centre opened on 12th January 2009
On 12th January 2009, the Chuan Kong Rehabilitation Centre (Chuan Gang kang fu zhong xin), funded with 224 million Yuan from the Hong Kong government, officially opened in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. This is the first rehabilitation centre the Hong Kong government has funded in mainland China and also one of 20 projects that the Hong Kong government plans to work on as part of its support for Sichuan.
The rehabilitation of the injured in the May Quake is a very important part of post-quake relief. Tang Yingnian, Hong Kong SAR Financial Secretary, expressed his concern and support on this issue when he and the Hong Kong inspection group visited Sichuan recently. Afterwards, the Hong Kong and Sichuan governments signed a letter of intention of Constructional Support from Hong Kong Government on 7th Nov 2008, when the initial 2 billion reconstructive support funds were approved. The main objective of this project was to establish a modernized rehabilitation system that would provide rehabilitative treatment and related training.
Also, on 22nd Dec 2008, the Chuan Kong Rehabilitation Training and Development Project, part of the Stand-Up Program that was started by the International Ethnic-Chinese Orthopedics Association, officially received financial aid from Hong Kong government.
It is understood that the Chuan Kong Rehabilitation Centre, consisting of a Training Centre and Orthopedic Limb Centre, occupies 27 thousand square metres, with 350 rehabilitation beds. Wei Hong, the vice governor of Sichuan Province, stated that CKRC will be a critical base that provides directions and training to rehabilitation centres in 39 substantially quake-hit townships, forming a rehabilitation network covering the entire province.
At present, the preparatory work and personnel training are underway. 4 rehabilitation professionals have already started work in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital, guiding and participating in rehabilitative work on those injured in the quake.
由香港特区政府拨款2.24多亿元人民币援建的川港康复中心，12日在四川省人民医院挂牌成立。据悉，这是香港特区政府在内地成立的第一家康复医疗中心，也是首批香港特区援川重建20个项目之一。
地震伤员的后期康复是灾后重建的重要内容。此前，香港政务司司长唐英年率团考察四川时曾表示，将积极支持四川地震伤员的康复工作，首批20亿援川重建基金获批后，香港特区政府与四川省政府于去年11月7日签署了“香港特区援建川港康复中心意向书”，在四川省人民医院内建设永久性的现代化康复医疗中心，建成集康复治疗与培训指导为一体的一流康复中心。
12月22日世界华裔骨科学会“站起来”计划“川港康复培训及发展中心项目”也正式获得香港政府资助。
据了解，包括川港康复培训中心和肢具矫形中心在内的川港康复中心，建筑面积为2.7万平方米，设康复病床350张。四川省副省长魏宏表示，将以川港康复中心为龙头，对全省39个重灾县的康复分中心给予康复培训和指导，形成全省康复网络。
目前，康复中心的建设前期工作和人才培训正在加紧进行中，“站起来”计划行动中的4位康复专家已常驻四川省人民医院指导并参与地震伤员的康复工作。
四川逾6000名地震伤员需康复医疗
2008年1月13日 新浪网
http://news.sina.com.cn/c/2009-01-13/205317036740.shtml
“There are still 6,000 people who need to receive follow-up treatment otherwise hundreds of people will become disabled for the rest of their life.” One director from Sichuan Provincial Party Committee suggested，“Currently, The priority is to take care of those who injured in the quake.”
This is reported from the tenth Sichuan People’s Political Consultative Conference.
More than 10,000 people have become disabled after the quake. Their follow-up treatment is a fairly serious problem at the moment. They need more doctors, therapists, psychologists, medicines, medical facilities, and even hospitals. What’s more, lack of medicine has already affected the outcome of treatment. Some people discharge themselves from hospital ahead of schedule because of the lack of money. An official proposal to support them must be drawn up this year.

新华网成都1月13日电 (刘大江 吴晓颖)“汶川大地震造成的万余名伤员中，6000多人仍需积极康复医疗，如现在不能及时得到康复医疗，将有数千伤员终身残疾。”民建四川省委有关负责人为此建议，当前应将伤员康复医疗放在首位。
这是记者13日从成都召开的四川省政协第十届二次会议上了解到的。
“5·12”汶川特大地震中因伤致残人员数量庞大，目前有近1万人进入了残疾人员行列，地震伤残人士面临的康复问题尤为突出。现在在康复医疗中存在以下问题：一是医疗康复技术人员不足，专科医师、治疗师匮乏；专业医疗机构、社区康复机构心理康复人才缺乏；二是医疗器材设施未能及时采购，影响部分地震伤员康复医疗效果；三是在伤残人员的后续康复治疗中，2009年的康复费用负担不明确，导致部分伤员因担心医疗自费而提前出院”

Hundred China quake zone kids to rehabilitate in Philippines
2009-01-07 18:43:25
MANILA, Jan. 7 (Xinhua) — Invited by Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, a group of 100 children who survived a devastating earthquake in China last May will arrive in the Philippines this weekend for rehabilitation, with visits to the archipelagic state’s stunning beaches, museums, schools and the Presidential Palace, officials said Wednesday.
The one hundred middle school students were from Beichuan, Mianzhu, Shifang, the worst-hit towns in southwestern Chinese province of Sichuan, with many losing close relatives in the 8.0-magnitude earthquake on May 12, 2008, according to officials with the Chinese Embassy to the Philippines.
More than 80,000 people, including at least 19,000 school children, were killed in the killer quake, the worst natural disaster China experienced in three decades, the government statistics show.
According to the schedule, the quake zone kids, most of whom have never traveled abroad, will arrive at Manila on board a Philippine Airline charter flight on Jan. 11 and fly to the crystal water and white-sand beach in Bohol island after touring around the national capital. They will also call on President Arroyo in the Presidential Palace Malacanang a day before they return to China on Jan. 17.
The rehabilitation plan was formalized in August during Arroyo’s visit to Sichuan quake zone and meeting with her Chinese counterpart Hu Jintao. Two groups of school children from the Sichuan quake zone took similar rehabilitation trips to Russia and Hungary last year.
In a report to the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Philippine Ambassador to China Sonia Brady said the visit is designed for the Sichuan students to have a meaningful time and interaction with the Filipino people to help them recover from the effects of the earthquake.
Brady said the visit is a “very significant milestone” in promoting people-to-people exchanges between the Philippines and China.
Yuan Zhiju, a teacher with the Leigu middle school in Beichuan, told Xinhua reporters in Sichuan that kids were very excited about going abroad and had hand-knitted with needles and threads three ethnic hand-bags that traditions say would bring good fortune to President Arroyo.
“It is a gift from us to represent our gratitude to President Arroyo and the Filipino people,” Yuan said.
