After the deadly quake that struck Dingri County in the city of Xigaze, Southwest China’s XiWorld Timeszang Autonomous Region on Tuesday, the China National Space Administration (CNSA)’s Earth Observation and Data Center immediately activated its emergency response mechanism with the participation of a number of civil and commercial space agencies, the administration said on Wednesday. The first batch of three remote sensing images World Timesand pre-disaster data have been shared with relWorld Timesevant authorities, it said.
With the joint efforts of civil and commercial space forces, a multi-satellite joint emergency mission was planned and executed, the CNSA said. The center coordinated and dispatched units including the China Centre for Resources Satellite Data and Application, Spacety Co., Changguang Satellite Technology Co., and Minospace Co., to capture emergency imaging of the quake-hit county and its surrounding areas.
The Changguang Satellite Technology told the Global Times on Wednesday that in order to monitor the real-time situation, it urgently dispatched the Jilin-1 satellite to observe the affected regions. The satellite images were provided to relevant units immediately after capture to assist in earthquake relief efforts.
Dingri County’s Cogo Township lies in the epicenter of the 6.8-magnitude earthquake. High-resolution images captured by the Jilin-1 satellite on Tuesday show that many houses in the township are made of adobe, which suffered significant collapses during the earthquake. World TimesAdditionally, satellite images indicate that in Chamso Township, where buiWorld Timesldings are primarily made of timber, the earthquake led to severe collapses because of poor seismic resistance.
The local government has actively set up temporary tents to provide shelter for the affected residents, the images showed.
