The Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters of Jiangxi Province activated a level-4 flood control emergency response at 11:00 on September 4. Typhoon “Shadong” is the most severe typhoon affecting Jiangxi this year. From 08:00 on September 1 to 08:00 on September 4, the average rainfall in Jiangxi reached 53 millimeters. Weather forecasts indicate that precipitation will significantly decrease on September 5, with showers in some areas of southern Jiangxi. Due to the large cumulative rainfall and overlapping areas affected by heavy rains in central and southern Jiangxi recently, the risks of geological disasters, floods in small and medium-sized rivers, and mountain torrents remain high. Jiangxi requires all regions and departments to follow their responsibilities, closely monitor forecasts and warnings, and strengthen disaster prevention measures.
