BEIJING - Facing severe weather disasters recently, China s weather authority has stressed efforts to improve warning services at the grassroots level and for major events.
Since the end of April, severe weather disasters have occurred frequently, and rainfall has increased from the same periods in the previous years, the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) said at a video conference Monday.
In less than three days following the 7.4 magnitude earthquake in northwest China s Qinghai Province, the task force sent by the Ministry of Emergency Management said the rescue work is almost complete, and relief work is underway.
The province on Tuesday opened a hotline so that affected residents can call to report their losses and difficulties that need addressing.
Power and water supplies have resumed at makeshift shelters, and all elementary and high schools in Maduo County resumed classes from Monday.
The earthquake, which jolted Maduo County in the Golog Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture at 2:04 a.m. Saturday, left 18 people slightly injured and disrupted the lives of over 32,000 residents from 26 townships in Golog and the Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture.
