China's earthquake-update #2

The earthquake has killed 179 people and injured 6986. Hundreds of amateur radio operators went to Ya'an helping disaster relief.

The disaster happened as the Global Simulated Emergency Test was underway
headed in China by station BY3CQ and others - BG8EIU, BG8FCK, BG8DE, BG8FPB, BY8DX, BH8AHU, BA8IK and BG8EBB - who are now either helping on HF, VHF or in the disaster area.

Fan Bin BA1RB contacted this morning Liu Hu BD8AAA who is in the epicentre at Lushan county.

The following updates are available:
1. Public communication is normal in Ya'an and Lushan, the UHF and VHF repeaters
work fine to provide effective communication. While in some remote rural areas, the communication is still needed to be established. Amateur Radio teams are actively helping build up the communications.

2. The government has more experiences to organise the disaster relief, amateur
radio operators were organised and provided help based on government needs.

3. Because suddenly there are too many vehicles coming into Ya'an city and
Lushan county, the transportation traffic condition is severe. There are 8 amateur radio teams, more than 200 amateur radio operators helping local transportation department to relieve traffic congestion.

The request to keep the HF frequencies of 3855kHz, 7050kHz and 14270kHz clear
for disaster traffic remains.

The Sichuan amateur radio association took immediate action with BA8DX (not
BD8DX as earlier report) and BD8AAA leading a team heading to the disaster
area.

China earthquake report #3

The rescue and relief efforts after Saturday's southwest China Ya'an earthquake
is continuing with the number of lives lost officially at 188 people, 25
are missing and 11,460 injured.

While radio amateurs continue to help with relief efforts, Fan Bin BA1RB
says that public communication is back to normal in the disaster area.

He said the CRSA/CRAC no longer required 3855kHz, 7050kHz and 14270kHz as
emergency communication frequencies. It expressed thanks for the support
from IARU member societies and others during the disaster.

It rained in the earthquake area last night. Effective traffic control has
been very important to transport tents, water, foods and medicines into the
area.

The rural communities around Ya'an city are along the same seismic fault
where the Great Sichuan Earthquake killed more than 90,000 people five years
ago, in one of China's worst natural disasters.

The latest earthquake on Saturday left tens of thousands of people in tents
or cars, unable to return home or too afraid to go back as aftershocks continued.

Badly hit Lushan County is now a large refugee camp, with tents set up and
volunteers providing meals.

(Jim Linton VK3PC, Chairman of the IARU Region 3 Disaster Communications
Committee with help of Fin Ban BA1RB)
