The Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued a meteorological warning for the red flash flood disaster yesterday. At 6 o'clock today, the Central Meteorological Observatory lowered the typhoon warning to yellow. The warning downgrade is still effective. It is expected that flash floods will occur in eastern Beijing, northeastern Hebei, south-central Zhejiang, and southern Anhui by 8 o'clock tonight. This is a red warning. Other regions may also be affected by flash floods due to heavy rainfall over a short period of time. Liu Ronghua, director of the engineering department of the Disaster Mitigation Center of the Ministry of Water Resources, warned that currently affected by typhoon No. 9 “Bawe,” the risk of flash floods in China is high. Liu Ronghua said: It involves three high-risk areas. The first area includes contiguous mountainous regions in northern Fujian, southern Zhejiang, northeastern Jiangxi, and southern Anhui. This region has the most prominent risk. 42 districts and counties have reached the red flash flood warning level, and the risk of flash floods is extremely high. The second is the North China region, which mainly involves Beijing and the Taihang Mountain and Yanshan regions of Hebei. The third area is Northeast China, mainly northeastern Liaoning, eastern and southern Jilin, and southern Heilongjiang.
