Typhoon Gaemi brings heavy rainfall to China, over 27,000 relocated

Beijing, July 27 (SocialNews.XYZ) More than 27,000 residents in northeastern China's Liaoning Province have been safely relocated in response to Typhoon Gaemi.

The provincial flood control and drought relief department said that heavy rainfall from Gaemi, the third typhoon of this year, has caused water levels to rise in 40 reservoirs across the province. These reservoirs are now discharging water accordingly, Xinhua news agency reported.

The provincial meteorological authorities said that most areas in Liaoning are expected to experience heavy torrential rain from early Sunday morning through Tuesday.

The province has organised inspections and patrols along the dikes to prepare for potential flooding and reduced disaster risks.

As of 7.00 a.m. on Saturday, hundreds of chemical enterprises and mining companies across the province and staffers, as well as nearby residents, have suspended operations and relocated to avoid flood risks.

On Friday, The Ministry of Emergency Management raised the emergency response to floods from Level IV to Level III in Liaoning in the wake of Gaemi.
