Fujian Takes Multiple Measures to Respond to Typhoon "Bavi"

Fujian Province is taking multiple measures to respond to the impacts brought by Typhoon “Bavi.” The local authorities have raised the typhoon emergency response to Level II and have predeployed inspection, hazard removal, and supply保障 work in coastal and mountainous areas. In Guangze County, Nanping City, relevant departments have carried out hazard inspections on key sections of the expressway, cleared debris from drainage ditches and bridge drainage holes, and重点 reinforced slopes, bridge tunnels, culverts, and areas prone to water accumulation. At the same time, they are releasing road conditions and travel advisories through channels such as information boards and official public accounts to ensure the public's travel safety. In Lianjiang, Fuzhou, coastal winds and waves have intensified significantly. All local scenic spots and tourist attractions have been closed, and warning lines and patrol teams have been set up to prevent the public from approaching dangerous coastal areas. Each township's evacuation centers have prepared beds, drinking water, and food so that people can be relocated and sheltered if necessary. In places such as Fuding, efforts are being stepped up to reinforce power facilities. Floodprevention measures such as waterproof barriers, sandbags, and waterabsorbing expansion strips have been taken for underground power distribution rooms, and onduty personnel and emergency repair teams have been arranged to minimize the risk of power outages that the typhoon may cause.
