Heads up, squad! The Chinese mainland is in the thick of its flood-control period (July 16-August 15), and Mother Nature's been flexing hard 🌊🚨.
During this stretch, 330 rivers have surged past warning levels—77 even topped their safety benchmarks, while 22 hit record highs. To keep things in check, authorities kicked off Level-III emergency responses 3 times and Level-IV a dozen times. 💪
Need more backup? 37 expert teams are on the ground 🔍, helping local crews brace for impacts and share best practices.
And if that wasn't enough, three typhoons rolled ashore—each making two landfalls—and rocked a total of 13 provincial-level regions, from coastal hubs to inland valleys.
It's still peak flood season, so risks aren't over yet. Stay tuned, stay safe, and keep an eye on those weather apps! ☔️📱
