Beijing, China: China’s Ministry of Emergency Management activated a Level 4 national emergency response to address geological disasters in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou provinces, amid forecasts of heavy rain and storms in the coming days.
The weather forecast indicates that parts of north-central Jiangxi, central Hunan, and south-central Guizhou are likely to experience heavy rain and storms until Friday.
Areas in northeastern Jiangxi, central Hunan, and western Guizhou also face a relatively high risk of geological disasters.
The ministry urged local authorities in the affected areas to intensify monitoring of rainfall levels, flooding, and geological disaster risks, and to take necessary measures to mitigate their impact.
