Beijing, January 18 (Xinhua) — China's Anhui, Henan, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces have issued a Level 4 emergency response for meteorological disasters caused by low temperatures, rain, snow, and ice, according to the National Disaster Prevention, Mitigation, and Relief Commission.
This decision was made because a cold wave is expected to hit vast areas of central and eastern China from January 18 to 21. Meteorological services predict rain and snowfall in these regions, with a front moving from north to south.
Heavy snowfall is forecast for southern Shaanxi Province, central and southern Henan Province, western Hubei Province, northern Hunan Province, and western Anhui Province. Freezing rain is expected in southern Anhui Province, central and southern Henan Province, western Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Guizhou Province, and northeastern Chongqing Municipality.
Authorities have warned that the cold wave will affect large areas, with sharply lower temperatures, a complex combination of precipitation, and an increased risk of natural disasters caused by low temperatures, rain, snow, and ice.
The State Committee called on relevant departments and provincial authorities to pay increased attention to key sectors, including transportation, electricity, communications, and life support systems. –0–
