A total of 90 million yuan will be allocated to the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang as Typhoon Doksuri, the fifth typhoon of this year, has brought gales and heavy rain to the regions.
The funds will be used for local emergency rescue and disaster relief efforts, focusing on searching, rescuing, and relocating residents affected by the disasters, detecting secondary disasters, and repairing damaged houses, among other tasks.
The other 200 million yuan will be distributed to the provincial regions of Sichuan and Inner Mongolia to deal with floods and droughts.
