Meteorological forecasts project heavy to torrential rain in parts of Chongqing
and Guizhou over the next three days. Persistent, overlapping rainfall raises
elevated risks of mountain floods, geological hazards, floods on small and
medium rivers, and urban waterlogging. Citing the National Flood Control and
Drought Relief Emergency Plan and relevant rules, the National Flood Control and
Drought Relief Headquarters and the Ministry of Emergency Management activated a
level-4 flood emergency response for Chongqing and Guizhou at 16:00 on September
30.
