China’s Ministry of Water Resources on Sunday upgraded its flood-control emergency response for Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong provinces from Level IV to Level III, amid high risks of mountain floods due to the impact of Typhoon Noul.
Jiangxi is in east China, Hunan in central China and Guangdong in south China.
Risk assessments show that 43 counties in contiguous areas across these three provinces will face red-alert-level risks of mountain floods from 8 a.m. on Sunday to 8 a.m. on Monday, indicating a high likelihood of such disasters.
