Additionally, the northeastern province of Liaoning has seen its emergency response level elevated from Level-IV to Level-III, indicating a heightened state of alert and preparedness to mitigate the typhoon's impacts. This escalation reflects the authorities' proactive measures to safeguard residents and critical infrastructure from the impending deluge.
Residents in the affected provinces are advised to stay informed through official channels and adhere to safety guidelines issued by local authorities. Emergency services are on high alert, ready to assist in evacuation efforts and provide necessary support to those in vulnerable areas.
