Floods force Chongqing evacuations
Print Edition
More than 20,000 residents have been evacuated after torrential rains led to swollen rivers in southwest China鈥檚 megacity of Chongqing, local authorities said yesterday.
Six rivers in Chongqing have seen water levels rise above the alert level after heavy rains battered most parts of the city on Monday and yesterday.
After the flood alerts, local officials and volunteers immediately evacuated residents in riverside and low-lying areas. No casualties have been reported, the city鈥檚 emergency management bureau said.
The city has raised its emergency flood response to level III, the second lowest in China鈥檚 four-tier emergency response system.
Some riverside promenades and low-lying areas in Qijiang District were submerged in flood water on Monday, reporters at the site said.
China鈥檚 national observatory yesterday renewed a yellow alert for rainstorms in many parts of the country.
From yesterday afternoon to this afternoon, heavy rain and rainstorms will hit Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Hubei, Shaanxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Hainan, Jilin, Inner Mongolia, Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian, the National Meteorological Center said.
