China’s Ministry of Water Resources designated the event Mudanjiang 2026 No.1
flood after the Mudanjiang hydrological station—on a Songhua River
tributary—rose to the warning level of 235.00 m at 09:00 on July 17. The
ministry has stepped up rain and runoff monitoring, intensified rolling
forecasts and warnings, activated flood‑defense emergency response, dispatched
working teams to the front line, and urged local authorities to tighten
reservoir and water‑engineering scheduling, implement flood defenses and
pre‑relocate residents from danger zones.
