BEIJING, June 29 (Xinhua) — China’s Ministry of Water Resources on Sunday activated a Level 4 emergency response to floods in Chongqing City, Sichuan Province and Gansu Province amid a new round of heavy rain.
Heavy rainfall is expected in the three provincial-level administrative units over the next few days, which may lead to rising river levels.
The relevant departments of the above-mentioned regions are called upon to strengthen real-time monitoring of rivers and precipitation, promptly issue early warning information and, if necessary, carry out evacuations to ensure the safety of people’s lives and property, the ministry said in a statement.
Let us recall that China has adopted a four-tier emergency response system for flood-related emergencies, with level 1 being the highest. -0-
