The Ministry of Water Resources in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has activated a Level-IV emergency flood response on Saturday, as the region braces for severe rainfall and potential flooding. China employs a four-tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level-I being the most urgent. Meteorologists forecast heavy to torrential rains from Saturday to Monday across China's northwestern, northern, and southern regions, raising concerns over potential flooding in small and medium-sized rivers. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely to mitigate risks and ensure public safety amid these challenging weather conditions.
