What’s a landslide? π€
A landslide is when rocks, earth, or debris slide down a slope. They can happen after lots of rain, earthquakes, or when the ground is unstable.
How are people helping?
Over 360 people have been safely moved to a temporary shelter at a local middle school. Rescue workers are using special equipment, rescue dogs, and drones to search for the missing people.
The community comes together! π€
Neighbors, volunteers, and officials are all working together to help those affected. China’s national disaster prevention, reduction, and relief commission has started a Level-IV national disaster relief emergency response. This means they are sending extra help and supplies to the area.
What can we learn from this?
Natural disasters can happen suddenly, but when communities work together, they can help save lives and rebuild. It’s important to stay safe and listen to local warnings, especially during heavy rain or bad weather.
Let’s send our best wishes to the people of Jinping Village! π
