Various districts in Beijing responded quickly and sent many teams to the front line of disaster relief and reconstruction, working together with the affected people to rebuild their homes.

Task Force "home" in affected areas

On August 8, with the roar of a drilling rig, the counterpart support team in Shijingshan District, Beijing, began the day's work to support the post-disaster reconstruction of Yanyi Town and Tanzhe Temple Town in Mentougou District.

In order to help the disaster-stricken areas restore the order of production and life as soon as possible, Shijingshan District quickly selected backbone forces in housing and urban-rural construction, engineering construction, planning and geological monitoring, water affairs and municipal engineering management, and a forward task force of 10 people came to Yanyi Town and Tanzhe Temple Town, becoming a "permanent force" to help post-disaster reconstruction. With the successive launch of roads, electricity, water, communication and life support infrastructure projects, the strength of the forward task force will be dynamically adjusted to ensure the long-term stationing of personnel.

Fan Guangzhi from Jingshi Jianye Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., a company owned by Shijingshan District, was among the first to arrive in the affected area, and the village of Qingbaikou in Yanyi Township, which he supported, was severely affected, especially the self-provided wells that provided daily water to more than 700 villagers were contaminated. The only remaining well in the village can only supply water for three hours a day, and it is imperative to dig a new well for the village as soon as possible and solve the water problem. In less than a day, early on the morning of August 3, the staff arrived at the construction area with drilling rigs and other equipment, and began drilling operations as soon as possible.
