BEIJING, Aug. 13 (Xinhua) — China's Ministry of Water Resources on Wednesday issued a level-4 flood alert in four provincial-level regions as Typhoon Podul is expected to bring heavy rains to large swathes of the country in the coming days.
According to weather forecasters, heavy rains are expected from August 13 to 15 in the provinces of Fujian /Eastern China/, Guangdong /Southern China/ and Hunan /Central China/, as well as Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region /GZAR, Southern China/.
Heavy rainfall could cause water levels to rise in several local rivers, including the Dongjiang, Xijiang and Xiangjiang, with some small and medium-sized rivers in high-risk areas likely to exceed danger levels.
The Ministry called on local authorities to strengthen monitoring of precipitation and river conditions in real time, promptly notify the population of possible floods and improve measures to prevent flooding in populated areas.
Three working teams were dispatched to Fujian and Guangdong provinces and the GCAR to assist in typhoon preparation, rainfall response and flood control measures.
Let us recall that in China's emergency response system, level 4 is the lowest. -0-
