🌪️ Typhoon Matmo, the 21st named storm of the 2025 Pacific typhoon season, slammed into the Chinese mainland’s southern provinces of Guangdong and Hainan on Sunday, prompting authorities to activate a Level-IV national disaster relief emergency response.
Sound familiar if you’ve braved monsoon deluges in Mumbai or typhoons in Manila—nature’s power waits for no one. 🌧️
In action: over 347,000 residents have been safely evacuated from high-risk areas. To keep everyone comfy and dry, 20,000 disaster supplies—like folding beds, moisture-proof mats and family emergency kits—have been dispatched to Guangdong and Hainan, while Guangxi got another 10,000 items.
What’s Level-IV?
The Chinese mainland’s four-tier system ranges from Level I (highest) to Level IV. Hitting Level-IV means local teams are in full gear: they’re coordinating rescue ops, securing shelters and making sure supplies roll in fast.
With heavy rains and gusty winds still in the forecast, stay indoors, keep your power banks topped up and follow official updates. Hang tight, stay safe and check on your loved ones! ❤️
