East China's Anhui Province has terminated its flood emergency response since Tuesday, local authorities said on Wednesday. The
decision was made after the water levels of all the main rivers, their
branches, and lakes across the province have fallen beneath the warning
lines. Authorities required all
departments in the province to focus on post-flood recovery and
reconstruction work, closely monitor changes in weather and water
regimes, and strengthen measures of forecasting, warnings, and emergency
rescue, in a bid to protect people and their property and ensure safety
and water supply. The flood
emergency period in Anhui lasted for 85 days. On June 23, the province
declared a flood emergency beginning from level IV, the lowest of
China's four-tier flood control emergency response system, and it raised
the response to the highest level I on July 18. Enditem
