Xu Lina, spokesman of Wumart Group: The materials we guarantee this time are mainly divided into two categories. One is food, including instant noodles, ham sausages, Soy egg, buns and mineral water. However, considering that the supply of tap water and boiled water on site will be very small, we also prepared some self heating instant noodles, which can be heated by simply flushing with mineral water. Secondly, considering the decrease in weather temperature, we have also prepared some warm goods such as raincoats and blankets.
