China activates emergency response to flooding in Zhejiang
BEIJING -- China's State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters on Sunday launched a Level-IV emergency response to flooding in the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang, as the lingering impact of Typhoon Wutip continues to pose risks.
The headquarters has maintained a Level-III emergency response to flooding and typhoons in the provincial-level regions of Guangdong and Guangxi.
Local authorities have been urged to intensify inspections and risk mitigation measures in key areas, including zones vulnerable to mountain floods, regions prone to geological disasters, low-lying urban areas susceptible to waterlogging, and small and medium-sized reservoirs, according to the headquarters.
Efforts must also be made to properly resettle residents affected by the typhoon in Hainan, Guangxi and Guangdong, ensure the timely allocation of relief funds, dispatch emergency supplies, and accelerate post-disaster recovery and reconstruction work, it said.
