The Office of the State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters and the Ministry of Emergency Management on Saturday emphasized the urgency of guarding against flood risks, as heavy rainfall is expected in multiple parts of southern China.

These downpours are set to sweep across multiple southern regions from April 26 to 29, covering a wide area and advancing rapidly, according to a meeting held by the two authorities together with meteorological and water conservancy departments.

The meeting underscored the need to reinforce patrols and emergency responses for reservoirs and dams, while urging enhanced routine maintenance and inspections.

Reservoirs with known safety hazards must stay empty during the main flood season, and rescue personnel, supplies and equipment should be deployed in advance, according to the meeting.
