Typhoon nears: batten down the hatches By Bao Daozu (China Daily) Updated: 2005-09-01 05:52
Officials in those two provinces had already begun evacuating residents in
the most vulnerable areas.
Zhejiang government officials urged hundreds of residents to stay away from
coastal areas, as well as mountainous regions, rivers, ageing reservoirs and
dilapidated houses, because of the risk of flash floods and mudslides.
Ships were called to harbour, and the water levels of local reservoirs were
lowered as many of them have been soaked by recent storms, according to
officials from Zhejiang Provincial Flood Control and Drought Relief
Headquarters.
Education authorities urged primary and high schools in the potentially
typhoon-affected areas to postpone their enrolment dates until
Monday.
