The Ministry of Water Resources in China has started a special plan called a “Level-IV emergency response.” This means they’re working hard to keep everyone safe from floods as the big storm comes closer to the provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian. ๐๏ธ
What’s happening?
Typhoon Danas is the fourth typhoon of the year, and it first went over the island of Taiwan late Sunday night. After that, it moved back out to sea. Now, it’s expected to reach the coast between Taizhou in Zhejiang and Ningde in Fujian between Tuesday afternoon and evening. โฐ
