Emergency funds were allocated for road recovery efforts, and resources from neighboring provinces and central enterprises were mobilized to support the disaster response. The ministry stated it would continue to closely monitor post-earthquake transportation conditions, enhancing coordination and ensuring comprehensive logistical support.

Air rescue efforts have also been swift. Under the coordinated guidance of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, earthquake relief operations in the civil aviation sector are being carried out smoothly and methodically.

On Tuesday alone, 11 flights were arranged to support the disaster relief effort: five commercial flights, two military flights, three general aviation flights and one emergency drone flight.
