BEIJING, July 3 (Xinhua) — Amid a new round of heavy rains, China’s Ministry of Water Resources on Thursday activated a Level 4 emergency response for flooding in northwest China’s Qinghai Province.
Heavy rainfall is forecast for eastern and southern Qinghai Province from Thursday to Saturday, with the storm expected to cause significant water levels in the upper reaches and tributaries of the Yellow River in the province, and flood levels in some small and medium-sized rivers in severely affected areas may exceed danger levels.
Local authorities are urged to strengthen flood monitoring and early warning, ensure effective flood control on rivers, and ensure the safety of people’s lives and property.
Based on the 24-hour rainfall forecast, the ministry issued warnings for 10 other provincial-level regions, including Hebei, Liaoning and Hainan provinces, urging them to take precautions and prepare for heavy rain.
Currently, three provincial-level regions of the country, namely Chongqing Municipality, Sichuan Province and Gansu Province, are under Level 4 flood emergency response.
Let us recall that China has adopted a four-tier emergency response system for flood-related emergencies, with level 1 being the highest. -0-
