1 10,000 transitional houses, more than half of which were built.
According to preliminary statistics, the earthquake caused about 49 million square meters of urban houses in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi to collapse, seriously damaged about 96 million square meters, and some towns were almost razed to the ground. The State Council decided to build 1 10,000 sets of transitional resettlement houses (prefabricated houses) within three months as temporary homes for people in disaster areas within three to five years.
All the provinces and cities in the country took immediate action, and the local government advanced funds, mobilized a lot of manpower and material resources, and quickly launched the production, transportation, site selection, leveling and installation of board houses. First-line commandos overcame difficulties such as poor road traffic conditions, hard living conditions and constant aftershocks, carried forward the spirit of continuous combat, and greatly accelerated the construction progress of transitional resettlement houses. Many aided provinces and cities have taken the initiative to undertake the work of road dredging, site leveling and supporting facilities that should have been undertaken by the disaster-stricken areas, and invested a lot of extra manpower, material resources and financial resources. During the peak construction period, more than 80,000 construction workers and more than 2,300 large-scale machines and tools were put into the construction site.
On the other hand, the relevant departments have taken measures such as opening special trains, setting special passages and exempting tolls, coordinated relevant enterprises to strengthen the production of raw materials for board houses, and strived to overcome outstanding problems such as insufficient funds, rising raw material prices, shortage of goods, transportation difficulties and fuel shortage. Timely formulate the "Regulations on Acceptance of Transitional Resettlement Houses in Wenchuan Earthquake-stricken Areas" to guide the completion, acceptance and delivery of board houses.
As of July 23rd, 564,200 sets of transitional resettlement houses (prefabricated houses) have been installed in the earthquake-stricken areas. Temporary hospitals, schools and commercial outlets in the transitional resettlement areas are also being gradually established. When the rainy season comes, provide comfortable, sheltered and hygienic living places for the people in the disaster areas, especially to ensure the smooth progress of the college entrance examination in the earthquake-stricken areas and the urgent need for housing for the resumption of classes in primary and secondary schools.
For farmers whose houses collapsed or were seriously damaged and homeless in the Wenchuan earthquake, the central government arranged 40 billion yuan to subsidize farmers to rebuild their houses. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has compiled the Plan for the Restoration and Reconstruction of Rural Houses in Earthquake-stricken Areas in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi Provinces, and plans to basically complete the restoration and reconstruction of rural houses in Sichuan, Gansu and Shaanxi provinces in 1-2 years.
In order to help rural victims build safe, earthquake-resistant and practical permanent housing, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development organized and edited the Atlas of Farmers' Self-built Houses after Wenchuan Earthquake, which was distributed to farmers free of charge. At the same time, eight groups of experienced experts were sent to the disaster area to go deep into the fields to provide on-site service guidance and help farmers rebuild rural housing.
Post-disaster reconstruction planning is coming soon.
Post-disaster reconstruction needs planning first. On July 3rd, the State Council issued "Guiding Opinions on Doing a Good Job in Post-Wenchuan Earthquake Recovery and Reconstruction", which defined the basic goal of post-disaster reconstruction planning: strive to complete the main tasks of post-disaster recovery and reconstruction in about three years, so that the basic living and production conditions of the people in the disaster areas can reach or exceed the pre-disaster level, and lay a solid foundation for sustainable development.
The reporter learned from the relevant departments that the first draft of the post-disaster reconstruction master plan has been formed, and it has now entered the stage of summarizing, connecting, modifying and perfecting the final text. The special plan is being promoted in parallel in the interactive connection, and has entered the stage of revision and improvement, and strives to complete the preparation work in mid-August.
According to the reconstruction plan, in order to raise reconstruction funds through multiple channels, the central government will establish a post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction fund, which will be used exclusively for post-earthquake recovery and reconstruction. Local finance at all levels in disaster areas should also adjust the expenditure structure and increase investment in recovery and reconstruction. According to the counterpart support plan determined by the central government, the supporters and recipients should fully negotiate to ensure the implementation of manpower, material resources and financial resources.
Post-disaster reconstruction areas will also receive many preferential policies. Including expanding the scope of value-added tax deduction, reducing corporate income tax, personal income tax and land value-added tax, and reducing some government funds and administrative fees in severely affected areas. We will implement an inclined credit policy and flexibly use various policy tools such as deposit reserve and refinancing to enhance the lending capacity of financial institutions in disaster areas. Timely provide land for restoration and reconstruction, and reasonably increase the scale of urban land in disaster areas. Encourage foreign enterprises to go to disaster-stricken areas and enterprises to enter industrial parks for centralized development, and increase employment assistance to disaster-stricken areas by providing job subsidies, social insurance subsidies, interest subsidies for small secured loans, employment introduction and training subsidies, and targeted recruitment.
