Heavy rainfall has led to a big surge in the Luanhe River, marking the first major flood of 2025 on the Chinese mainland. Early Monday, officials announced that at 4:30 a.m., the inflow at the Panjiakou Reservoir reached 2,270 cubic meters per second, with expectations to hit around 4,000 cubic meters per second by tonight.
Across the Haihe River Basin, Beijing has also been feeling the impact. Torrential rains have forced the evacuation of over 3,000 residents in the suburban Miyun district, highlighting the need for heightened flood safety measures. 💧🚨
Since 1998, numbering floods has been a key strategy to raise public awareness about river conditions and reinforce flood prevention efforts. This system helps communities and emergency teams stay alert during challenging weather conditions. 😊
As the situation develops, stay informed and be safe. Fresh updates will continue to shed light on this evolving story for everyone on the move.
