Hey everyone! Have you ever heard of a typhoon? It’s a big storm with strong winds and lots of rain, kind of like a hurricane. Right now, a typhoon named Wipha is getting close to Fujian Province in China, and people there are getting ready for it!
Since Sunday, the coastal areas of Fujian have been experiencing heavy rain. The weather experts say that over the next three days, there will be even more rain. 💦
Because of this, the local government has started a Level-IV flood control emergency response. This means they’re taking important steps to keep everyone safe from flooding.
They are doing lots of things, like:
- Watching the weather closely 🌦️
- Sending out early warnings to people ⏰
- Making plans to prevent problems like landslides, floods in small rivers, and water in the streets 🏞️🚧
Did you know? Typhoon Wipha already landed once in Guangdong Province, which is near Fujian, bringing strong winds that blow at 25 meters per second! That’s really fast! 🌀
In China, they have a system to show how serious emergencies are. Level I is the most serious, and Level IV is still important, but less severe. By activating Level-IV response, they are making sure everyone stays alert and works together to stay safe.
Stay tuned for more updates, and remember, safety comes first! 🌟
