Standing strong in face of typhoons
Print Edition
PUTUO District has managed to deal with four major recent typhoons through dedicated preparations by local authorities.
Typhoons Ampil, Jongdari, Yagi and Rambia have made landfall since late July, bringing gales and heavy rainstorms.
The Putuo government and its various departments have worked around the clock to deal with each typhoon and ensure the safety of residents and the uninterrupted operation of businesses and services in the downtown area.
Cao Liqiang, the Party secretary of Putuo, and Zhou Minhao, the district director, have led the efforts.
The district’s housing authority inspected residential communities, relocation sites and construction sites ahead of the typhoons. Hundreds of residents were relocated temporarily to ensure their safety.
The Putuo police worked around the clock to maintain safety and the smooth flow of traffic.
The Putuo greenery authority has launched several rounds of overhauls at outdoor objects at height, including shop signboards, external air-conditioning units, curtain wall glass and lamp boxes. Over 20 parks in the district suspended operations during the typhoons. Cleaners have worked overtime to remove broken tree branches and accumulate water on roads.
The subdistricts and towns across the district have checked and asked the shops to stabilize their signboards on roadsides before the approaches of the typhoons. Officials also visited seniors living alone to remind them to stay at home and ensure safety during the typhoons.
Sandbags have been placed on the low-lying regions of old residential communities to prevent them from being inundated during the heavy rainfall.
