BEIJING, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — Two to three typhoons are expected to make landfall in China or impact the country in August, according to a briefing jointly held by the Office of the National Disaster Prevention and Relief Commission and the Ministry of Emergency Management on Tuesday.
One of these typhoons is expected to affect areas north of the Yangtze River, the event noted.
In August, all seven major river basins in China entered flood season, while some rivers in the Haihe, Songhuajiang (Sungari) and Liaohe River basins are at risk of relatively major flooding.
Meanwhile, the risk of forest fires remains high in places in the Greater Khingan forested region, northern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (XUAR, northwest China), central and southern China, and some southwestern parts of the country.
The western region of Yunnan Province (southwest China) faces a heightened risk of geological disasters, with areas along the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, areas between the Yangtze and Huaihe rivers, and the central-northern Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region at risk of heat and drought, the briefing said. -0-
