Many of the villagers in Sucun Village are elderly people whose children are away studying or working in cities.
"Many of them do not know how to use phones. We have helped them, one by one, to get in contact with their children," said Ying Shuping, who has been helping to install telecom equipment in the temporary shelters.
Baofeng Village was also affected, with six people missing Wednesday night after their homes were destroyed by a landslide.
The six villagers remain missing and rescue work is under way.
Affected by the typhoon, nearly 315,000 residents were temporarily relocated in Zhejiang Province.Related stories:
