The guidelines also require private homes, public infrastructure and basic facilities to be priority building tasks.

The Cabinet would use financial, land and employment policies to support the rebuilding, and at the same time welcome cash and goods donations from all sectors of society.

Businesses, especially state-owned enterprises, were encouraged by the government to launch investments in quake-hit areas, said the guidelines.

Local bureaus responsible for the rebuilding project should ensure the proper use of money and goods and that security and quality issues were put under public scrutiny.

The 8.0-magnitude earthquake that jolted Sichuan and the neighboring provinces had killed at least 69,196 people as of Friday noon, with 374,176 injured and 18,385 missing.
