Heavy rains continue to batter China's central, southwestern, eastern and northern provinces, prompting urgent flood control, disaster relief and rescue work. The rain-triggered floods trapped some locals on the road in Tianmen City. Local departments of public security acted rapidly to help with the evacuation. Waterlogging also raised concerns in Qianjiang City.

There were six spots in the city that experienced over 30-centimeters of accumulated water. Firefighters quickly responded with disaster relief operations. The firefighters successfully helped more than ten trapped people get to safety after two hours. Local authorities sent personnel to the affected section immediately and started emergency dredging work, with both excavators and transportation vehicles dispatched.
