A number of regions outside quake-ravaged Sichuan have decided to target their aid within the province to ensure that disaster relief efforts get results.

A six-member team with the transportation administration of Jiangsu Province headed for Deyang, a badly-hit city in Sichuan, on Wednesday to evaluate damage to the traffic infrastructure.

In addition, 55 trucks of tents and lumber to build temporary houses are set to leave for the city, designated as Jiangsu's quake relief recipient, in the evening.

Under the arrangement of the Chinese central authorities, a number of other provinces have established partnership with some of the hardest-hit quake zones amid increasing national donations of cash and supplies.

Twenty-five volunteers from Zhejiang Province have been working in Guangyuan City on medical, psychological and epidemic prevention missions since Tuesday.

The city also received about 5,800 tents and 1 million square meters of cloth for setting up temporary shelters on the same day from the coastal province in eastern China.

The government of Shandong Province has decided to sent experts to Mianyang City to investigate the real need for relief materials.

Nearly 30 enterprises in Shandong are busying making mobile houses and tents to meet the production deadline of July.

Guangdong, Hubei and Henan provinces are also working on specific plans to help their partnered regions in Sichuan to survive the catastrophe.
