Beijing, July 10 /Xinhua/ — The Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM) of China activated on Friday the level three emergency response mechanism for geological disasters in the provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian in eastern China.
According to the ministry, under the influence of Typhoon Bavi, the ninth typhoon in 2026, heavy and torrential rains are expected from Friday to Monday in the southern part of Zhejiang Province and the northeastern part of Fujian Province, with some areas facing extremely heavy precipitation.
The National Meteorological Center (NMC) of China on Friday extended the orange-level alert due to Typhoon Bavi, the ninth of the year, which is expected to bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds. According to forecasts, Bavi will move northwest at a speed of 15-20 km/h and will make landfall in the coastal area between the city of Xia Pu (Fujian Province) and the city of Wenling (Zhejiang Province) on Saturday evening. After making landfall, it will continue moving northwest, gradually losing strength.
Following joint consultations and assessments with the Ministry of Natural Resources of the PRC, the Ministry of Emergency Management identified a high risk of geological disasters in the southeastern part of Zhejiang Province and the northeastern part of Fujian Province, as a result of which the emergency response mechanism for geological disasters was activated and working groups were dispatched to lead efforts in disaster prevention and relief in the two provinces.
The ministry called on the authorities of the affected regions to deploy emergency rescue forces, material resources, and equipment, as well as to strengthen inspections and early warnings.
China has a four-level emergency response system, where the first level is the most serious.
