Storyline: China's Ministry of Water Resources on Sunday activated a level-IV emergency flood response in Gansu and Qinghai Provinces and the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in the northwest. China has a four-tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe. Heavy to torrential rains are forecast in northeastern Qinghai, central Gansu and northern Ningxia on Sunday. Some tributaries of the upper Yellow River are expected to see rising water levels, with some small and medium-sized rivers likely to see floodwater levels rise to warning thresholds. The ministry urged local authorities to closely monitor the weather conditions and take measures to protect people's lives and property. The ministry has dispatched two task forces to Qinghai and Ningxia to assist in flood prevention and control. In addition, south China's Guangdong Province has activated a Level-IV emergency response in anticipation of torrential rain, the provincial headquarters for flood, drought and wind control said on Sunday morning. From Sunday to Tuesday, Guangdong is expected to experience torrential rains, which could lead to flooding, mountain torrents, geological hazards and waterlogging in urban and rural areas, according to the provincial meteorological service. Parts of coastal cities and counties in eastern Guangdong and the southern Pearl River Delta are expected to experience extraordinarily heavy downpours. The headquarters required local authorities to intensify analysis and promptly activate emergency responses to ensure public safety and minimize disaster losses.
