China has activated a Level-IV emergency response to flooding in five regions, including Shanghai and Hainan, as twin typhoons and a tropical depression threaten to unleash heavy rains 🌧️. The Ministry of Water Resources warned that rivers in these areas could overflow their banks between Wednesday and Friday.
Typhoons Bebinca and Pulasan, alongside a tropical system in the South China Sea, are driving the risk. The Level-IV alert—the lowest in China’s four-tier emergency system—signals heightened vigilance for communities and infrastructure 🏙️. Residents are urged to monitor updates as authorities prepare for potential evacuations and resource deployment.
This marks the first flood-related emergency response of the season in these provinces, underscoring the growing unpredictability of extreme weather events linked to climate change 🌍.
