Pyongyang, August 10 (KCNA) -- State emergency measures are taken to eradicate the aftermath of flood and heavy rain as soon as possible in the DPRK.

The central team for guiding the project for recovery from flood damage is staffed by officials of the Cabinet, ministries and national institutions.

The team scrupulously organizes the work for acquainting itself with the problems arising in powerfully backing the reconstruction project in several disaster-hit areas in South Hamgyong Province and other regions and for taking timely measures for resolving them on the spot.

Prompt measures are taken to stabilize the life of the residents in the flood-hit areas.

Ministries took steps for providing the people with food, non-staple food, condiments and others.

Necessary medicines are being supplied and the quality of drinking water thoroughly ensured to prevent various diseases.

Hundreds of medical workers were urgently dispatched to the disaster-stricken areas to conduct medical examination and treatment for the residents and builders. They further intensify the emergency epidemic prevention work with adequate disinfectants and epidemic prevention tools.

Officials of ministries and national institutions sent the aid materials they prepared with sincerity to share sorrow with the people in the disaster-hit areas, thus giving full play to the fine traits of helping and caring for one another more sincerely at a time of hardship, which prevail in society.

The reconstruction campaign gets brisk.

While making a field survey, officials of the State General Bureau of Design push ahead with drawing up the arrangement plans and designs for the dwelling houses to be built in the flood-hit areas and providing technical manuals urgently needed for the reconstruction of damaged structures. -0-
