Social donations of materials and relief should be closely related to local conditions and achieve efficient matching with the needs of the affected people.

Beijing News editorial.
Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province 6Level 2** touches people's hearts.
According to Xinhua News Agency, as of 13 o'clock on December 19, 6Level 2** has killed 113 people, injured 536 and damaged 155393 homes. As of 16:50 on the 19th, a total of 212 people were killed in Haidong City, Qinghai (14 dead and 198 injured).
After the incident, the general secretary attached great importance to it and gave important instructions, requiring "to make every effort to carry out search and rescue, treat the injured in a timely manner, and minimize the number of personnel".
At present, the rescue and disaster relief work is in full swing. According to the Beijing News, the most important concern for rescue efforts is the low temperature in high-altitude areas. The meteorological department expects local temperatures of -14 to 1 and winds of 3 to 5 in the next three days.
This means that for disaster relief personnel, low temperature may become the biggest "stumbling block" in disaster relief work, and the rescue time will be shortened for 72 hours after the earthquake. However, a large number of houses collapsed, and the tents of temporary resettlement personnel have limited warmth performance, and once the heating and insulation capacity cannot keep up, it will also lead to frostbite and colds for disaster evacuees.
At this time, the more targeted the social rescue, the more the strength of all parties can be fully exerted, so as to ensure that the emergency resources maximize the benefits, minimize the loss of personnel and property, and prevent secondary disasters caused by cold waves and low temperature weather.
It is worth noting that after the accident, the disaster area held a press conference on the rescue progress almost immediately, reminding social volunteers, people outside the earthquake area, and social vehicles not to go to the earthquake area to ensure that the rescue channel and life channel are unblocked. At the same time, the Gansu Provincial Emergency Management Department has established "1219 Linxia Jishi Mountain ** Social Rescue Coordination Mechanism", and issued an announcement on rescue needs to the society.
Such timely reminders and information release are very necessary, and the disaster area real-time release of the accident scene, the disaster situation and rescue needs of the disaster area provides a reliable direction for the social emergency forces to quickly and orderly put into the rescue.
For example, an announcement issued by Gansu on the 19th said that more than 300 rescue forces such as search and rescue of collapsed buildings are urgently needed. It is hoped that the social emergency forces with relevant rescue capabilities will submit an application for participating in emergency rescue through the social emergency force rescue coordination system. Teams that respond across regions can use the system-generated pass code to achieve high-speed free passage.
This move not only avoids the consequences of organizations and individuals who do not have professional rescue knowledge and technology blindly driving into the disaster area, resulting in rescue "congestion", but also quickly establishes a social rescue coordination mechanism after the disaster, realizes the unified collection of rescue information, and is more conducive to the overall arrangement of social disaster relief forces, reasonable scheduling and distribution of rescue resources, and avoids the waste of social rescue teams in the past to create the best and material resources for each other.
In fact, in order to do a good job in the temporary resettlement and living assistance of the affected people, as of 17 o'clock on December 19, ** has allocated disaster relief materials to the disaster areas of Gansu and Qinghai provinces.**13350,000 pieces. In every earthquake relief, there are people from all walks of life who have donated generously, and this time is no exception. Many enterprises and individuals donated money and materials to help the earthquake relief work in the disaster area, which sent warmth to the people affected by the cold winter.
Here, it should be reminded that past experience in disaster relief shows that due to the lack of sharing of disaster information, there is a mismatch between donated materials and local needs, such as mountains of mineral water and instant noodles in the resettlement sites, but there are few trauma drugs and antibiotics that the medical team urgently needs.
According to the contact person of the Gansu ** Social Rescue Coordination Mechanism, the materials needed in the disaster area include generators, long cotton coats, fuel for safety stoves, food, warm facilities, safety and fire prevention equipment, and feminine products. "At present, there is a large demand for winter materials and daily necessities, and cotton tents, food ...... are neededThe disaster area belongs to the ethnic minority area, and if you send food, it is best to have halal food. ”
It can be said that the local demand for disaster relief materials is very precise and humane. Fully respect and protect the daily life Xi of the affected people, and provide corresponding daily necessities;Remind the donation of cotton tents, which are more suitable for the weather conditions of low temperature and cold resistance in the disaster area;There are also women's products that are easy to ignore, which are also in the list of material needs.
In addition, in addition to centralized rescue in gathering areas such as counties, towns and towns, those scattered villages on the plateau may also wish to provide targeted assistance according to local needs.
We also call on all sectors of society to pay attention to the update of information in the disaster area when donating disaster relief materials, and the donation of materials and relief needs to be closely related to local conditions, and strive to achieve an efficient match with the needs of the affected people. I believe that with the concerted efforts of the first and the society, the affected people will be able to tide over the difficulties.
