Hey amigos! 🌟 Big news from the Chinese mainland: China's National Disaster Reduction Commission just activated a Level-IV emergency response to tackle flooding in the northwest's Shaanxi Province.
The commission sent a team to help local governments with disaster relief and rescue efforts, making sure everyone stays safe and sound. 🚑🤝 According to the Ministry of Emergency Management, they're all hands on deck to cover the basic needs of those affected.
But that's not all! China's weather authorities renewed a yellow alert on Thursday—the third-most severe warning—for rainstorms hitting several regions, including southern Shaanxi. ⛈️💨 Heavy to torrential rains are expected from Wednesday to Saturday. So, the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters also activated a Level-IV emergency response in the province.
FYI, the Level-IV response is the lowest in China's four-tier emergency response system, but it means they're taking action to keep everyone safe. 🙏 Stay tuned for more updates, and keep those affected in your thoughts! 💙
