China has activated emergency flood protocols in Zhejiang and Fujian provinces as Typhoon Danas barrels toward the region, threatening heavy rains and potential disasters. The Ministry of Water Resources escalated its response to Level-IV—the lowest in China’s four-tier system—as the storm approaches coastal areas. 🌊
Typhoon’s Path & Impact
Danas, the fourth typhoon of 2024, first hit the island of Taiwan late Sunday before circling back toward the Chinese mainland. Forecasts predict it’ll strike between Zhejiang’s Taizhou and Fujian’s Ningde by Tuesday afternoon, unleashing torrential rains through Thursday. 💨
Rising Risks
Rivers like the Qiantang and its tributaries could overflow, while smaller waterways may breach warning levels. Mountainous zones face high risks of flash floods. Authorities warn residents to prepare for disruptions. 🚨
Emergency Measures
China’s flood control teams are monitoring Danas 24/7, dispatching experts to Zhejiang to assist local efforts. The ministry urged coastal cities to reinforce infrastructure and evacuate vulnerable communities. 🛠️
With climate patterns intensifying, this response highlights China’s proactive stance on disaster management. Stay tuned for updates! 📡
