The Ministry of Water Resources and the China Meteorological Administration jointly issued a red mountain‑flood meteorological warning at 18:00 on July 25. Forecast for 20:00 July 25–20:00 July 26: parts of southern Jiangxi and central‑eastern Guangdong face a high probability of mountain‑flood disasters (orange warning), with local areas at very high probability (red warning). Other areas may see mountain floods from localized short‑duration heavy rain. Authorities urged real‑time monitoring, flood warnings and evacuation preparedness.

On July 26, the Guangdong Provincial Department of Finance and Provincial Department of Emergency Management urgently allocated 50 mln yuan in provincial natural disaster relief funds for emergency response to Typhoon Hongxia. The funds will support Huizhou, Shanwei, Jieyang, Meizhou and Heyuan for emergency rescue and relief to affected residents, procurement and transport of relief supplies, inspection and emergency remediation of secondary hazards, and repair and reconstruction of damaged housing to limit impact and protect lives and property.
