各地 are implementing measures to mitigate the impact of typhoons and floods. In Anhui, reservoirs are pre-releasing water to manage rising levels, while重庆 has activated emergency responses for urban drainage. With Typhoon Maysak approaching,海南 and广西 are preparing for heavy rain and strong winds, with maritime activities suspended and vessels recalled to ports.
