Vil hjelpe flomofre i Hubei
Publisert 29.07.2010 07:34. NRK-Telemark
En mann svømmer i gatene i Hubei-provinsen. Bygningene er ødelagt av den kraftige oversvømmelsen.
Folk i Telemark oppfordres til å støtte flomofrene i Kina, etter at vennskapsprovinsen er hardt rammet.
Det er ekstreme nedbørsmengder som har har ført til denne verste flommen i Kina på 12 år.
Midt i flom-området ligger Telemarks vennskapsprovins Hubei. Der er flere hundre bygninger skadet, 58 har kollapset helt. Flere er døde i flommen og mange har blitt hjemløse. Nå oppfordrer fylkesordfører Gunn Marit Helgesen folk til å støtte flomofrene.
– Vi oppretter en hjelpekonto som innbyggerne kan gi sitt bidrag til og så vil jeg utfordre Utenriksdepartementet til å bidra, sier Helgesen.
Telemark fylkeskommune har opprettet hjelpekontoen: 1503 17 53497 til flomofrene i Hubei, Kina.
– Viktig å hjelpe
I Kina er nå mer enn 1100 mennesker omkommet. Flommen har gjort store ødeleggelser på veier, jernbanelinjer og bygninger. Mer enn hundre tusen mennesker har forlatt sine hjem av frykt for nye oversvømmelser.
– Jeg synes vi har et ansvar for å bidra, fordi vi har det veldig godt, og fordi vi har evnen til det, sier Helgesen.
Innbyggere i Hubei-provinsen ser etter eiendeler i de ødelagte husene.
Hubei-provinsen ligger i det sentrale Kina, og gjennom provinsen renner Yangtze- elven, Kinas største elv. Det er denne og flere småelver, som har skapt flomproblemene.
I Hubei ligger også demningen «De tre kløfter», som åpnet i 2006. Bak demningen finner vi et av verdens største vannmagasiner. Demningen har tatt av for mye av flomvannet, men har ikke klart å skjerme innbyggerne langs Yangtze- elven.
Telemark fylkeskommune har siden 2005 hatt en vennskapsavtale med Hubei. Fredag er Helgesen tilbake på jobb etter ferien, og da vil hun ta kontakt med regjeringen der.
– Jeg vil sende en hilsen hvor jeg viser sympatier med dem som lider, sier Helgesen.Add this page to your favorite Social website

Telemark Fylkeskommune inviterer til deltagelse på EXPO 2010,
Kjære næringslivsaktører og andre interessenter;
Telemark Fylkeskommune har siden 2005 hatt en vennskapsavtale med Hubei provins, Kina. Fylkeskommunen har fokusert på å etablere møtepunkter mellom to nasjonaliteter for næringsliv, akademia, kultur og folket for å styrke forståelse og hverandres næringsliv.
Nå har Telemark fylkeskommune fått en eksklusiv invitasjon av Hubei til å delta på Hubei sin paviljong i ”China House” på Expo 2010 i Shanghai, hvor vi har takket ja og sammen kommer til å organisere Norway-Hubei days 12-13 oktober.
Expo 2010 er et meget viktig arrangement i Kina. Telemark fylkeskommune i samarbeid med NHO-Telemark og Innovasjon Norge inviterer norske aktører til å delta på dette programmet. Denne møteplassen er en unik mulighet for næringslivet og andre til å invitere sine kinesiske samarbeidspartnere til å være med på noe eksklusivt sammen.
For andre som ikke er etablert i Kina vil det være en mulighet til å lære om Kina og mulighet til å møte aktuelle partnere for å senere kunne videreutvikle en Kinastrategi. Innovasjon Norge vil i tillegg tilby et større skreddersydd program i forkant og etterkant i tillegg til Expo 2010, 11-12 og 13 oktober, for maks 6 bedrifter som ønsker å satse i Kina. (påmelding til Innovasjon Norge –Telemark, innen 1 mai).
