The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters on Sunday activated a Level IV emergency response to flooding in Shandong as heavy rainfall persists in the eastern province.
China has a four-tier emergency response system for flood control, with Level I being the most severe response scenario.
Torrential rain is forecast from July 7 to 13 across the southern part of the province, which is expected to cause water levels to rise in major rivers flowing through Shandong and adjacent regions, according to meteorological authorities.
