The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters of the Chinese mainland activated a Level IV emergency response on Sunday in Shandong province due to persistent heavy rainfall.
China employs a four-tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe. The ongoing torrential rains, forecasted from July 7 to 13, are expected to cause water levels to rise in major rivers flowing through Shandong and adjacent regions, according to meteorological authorities.
Authorities are closely monitoring the situation to mitigate the potential impacts and ensure the safety of residents.
