    Drones capture images of quake-hit regions

    China has dispatched five drones to take high-altitude photographs of quake-hit areas, according to the National Administration of Surveying, Mapping and Geoinformation. The administration has already obtained satellite images of pre-disaster Lushan county, of Ya'an city in Sichuan province, through the Ziyuan III satellite. It has published satellite images of quake-hit and adjacent areas on www.tianditu.cn, and will publish the latest drone images when they are available. The administration will use the images to quickly compile maps to help with relief work.

    Expressways open to vehicles for free

    All expressways leading to the areas hit by Saturday's earthquake in Sichuan are open without tolls, according to Ministry of Transport. Spokesman of the Ministry of Transport He Jianzhong said two sections of the Beijing-Kunming expressway, which pass through Ya'an, are now the main roads for outside vehicles to enter Lushan county, the epicenter of the magnitude-7 earthquake. Other roads leading to the county have been blocked while repairs are underway.

    Airlines deploy planes for quake relief work

    Two of the largest air companies in China have set aside 15 passenger airplanes, three cargo planes and three helicopters for rescue efforts taking place in Ya'an, Sichuan province. China Southern Airlines, which has nine passenger airplanes, three cargo planes and two helicopters on call for the rescue efforts, has deployed a Boeing 737 from Zhengzhou to Luoyang to airlift emergency workers to the provincial capital, Chengdu. China Eastern Airlines, another major air carrier, has set aside six passenger planes and one helicopter for rescue efforts.
