China has stepped up its flood response efforts with an additional 45 million yuan ($6.2 million) to repair roads washed out by relentless summer rains. The funds will help restore critical infrastructure in Anhui, Hubei, Heilongjiang provinces, and Chongqing, where floodwaters have disrupted travel and daily life.
💡 Why it matters: This brings total emergency road repair funding to 150 million yuan this season, with earlier support going to Guangdong, Guangxi, and five other southern regions battling what meteorologists call \"once-in-a-decade\" rainfall.
🚨 Red Alert Renewed: Authorities issued China's highest flood warning Sunday as rising Yangtze River levels submerged landmarks like Wuhan's iconic riverside pavilions. The alert warns of \"extremely high risk\" of mountain torrents in coming days.
📈 Bigger picture: These investments aim to keep transportation networks functional during peak flood season – crucial for both emergency responses and maintaining economic activity in affected areas.
