On December 18th at 23:59, a 6.2 magnitude earthquake occurred in Jishishan County, Linxia Prefecture, Gansu Province, with a depth of 10 kilometers. The disaster area is located in a high-altitude area with cold weather. It is necessary to closely monitor the earthquake situation and weather changes to prevent secondary disasters from occurring. The disaster was severe, and the State Council's Earthquake Relief Command and Emergency Management Department upgraded the national earthquake emergency response to level two; The National Disaster Prevention, Reduction and Relief Commission and the Ministry of Emergency Management have upgraded the national disaster relief emergency response to level two. The biggest challenge in current earthquake relief work is the local low temperature weather. According to reports, Jishishan County, where the epicenter was located, is located in the transitional zone between the Loess Plateau and the Qinghai Tibet Plateau. The terrain is complex, with an altitude of 1735 to 4309 meters. The county seat has an altitude of about 2300 meters. Recently, a cold wave passed through, and the lowest temperature in the earthquake area dropped to around minus 15 ℃. Experts say that trapped individuals may experience physiological decline or symptoms of hypothermia in low temperature weather. If the outdoor temperature is below minus 10 ℃, the person buried under the ruins without injury can only persist for 5 to 10 hours. This means that the 72 hour golden rescue in general will be significantly shortened in this earthquake rescue. Low temperature earthquake relief is a test. The cold weather not only threatens the safety of the people in the disaster area, but also puts forward higher requirements for rescue technology, equipment, and personnel. Rescue personnel wearing cold resistant clothing in low temperature environments increase their body weight, and in addition, maintaining a certain temperature in the body under low temperature conditions will inevitably consume more energy. Continuous combat can easily cause physical exhaustion. In addition, low temperatures have also had a serious impact on the emergency repair and communication of infrastructure. Low temperature earthquake relief has more ideas. While various tasks are being carried out in a tense and orderly manner, the Party and the government have fully considered the urgency of the low-temperature situation, seized the main contradiction, timely released the disaster situation and rescue needs in the disaster area, and mobilized various professional forces as much as possible to quickly and orderly invest in rescue, effectively ensuring the security work. In response to the cumulative impact of cold weather on earthquake relief, the National Development and Reform Commission immediately activated the emergency response mechanism to ensure the supply of energy, electricity, and daily necessities. It actively guided power grid enterprises to repair damaged power facilities, organized emergency power supply, and fully ensured the needs of the people and key electricity users; Organize the Grain and Material Reserve Bureau to promptly allocate disaster relief materials such as cotton tents, blankets, and coats to nearby areas. According to reports, the materials needed in the disaster area currently include generators, long cotton coats, safe stove fuel, food, heating facilities, safety and fire prevention equipment, and women's products, which are being urgently raised. The Gansu Provincial Earthquake Relief Command stated that the next step will be closely focused on
