On July 8, in response to hail damage in Hubei, the Office of the National
Committee for Disaster Prevention, Mitigation and Relief, the Ministry of
Emergency Management and the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration
allocated 20,000 central relief items to the province — folding beds, summer
quilts, towels, moisture-proof mats, folding tables and stools, and household
emergency kits — to support resettlement and basic living needs. Via the
emergency supplies government–charity coordination mechanism, major charities
including the China Red Cross Society, China Charity Federation, China Rural
Development Foundation and China Red Cross Foundation coordinated donations of
40,000 life-support items, including family relief packs, jackets, emergency
food, drinking water and hot meals. Authorities also coordinated One Foundation
and others to support repair and reconstruction of damaged schools and to
oversee resettlement and recovery work.
