Since August 2, Wuchang City in the northeast of the Chinese mainland's Heilongjiang Province has been grappling with heavy rains exceeding 100 millimeters. 😰 The relentless downpours have caused reservoir and river water levels to surge beyond warning marks, posing significant risks to the local communities.
In response to the rising water levels, authorities have successfully evacuated a total of 40,000 residents across 18 affected townships. 🏞️ These brave efforts have ensured the safety of thousands, relocating them to secure areas away from potential flooding.
One of the key resettlement sites is Yachen Middle School, now serving as a temporary shelter in the heart of the disaster-stricken region. 🏫 CGTN's Zhang Siran provides an inside look at the daily lives of evacuees as they navigate this challenging time.
Residents are urged to stay informed and follow safety guidelines as the region continues to monitor weather conditions closely. Stay safe, Wuchang! 🌈🛡️
