Shanghai Municipal Party Committee Secretary Chen Jining inspects and coordinates typhoon defense work.

Typhoon "Baihai Dolphin" is gradually intensifying its impact of wind and rain in Shanghai, prompting swift action across the city to strengthen duty monitoring and ensure thorough preparations. This afternoon, during an inspection of the typhoon defense work at the Municipal Flood Control Command Center, Shanghai Party Secretary Chen Jining emphasized the need to closely focus on the characteristics of this typhoon, specifically its "strong winds and heavy rain." He urged that all preparations and defensive measures for flood control emergency rescue and disaster relief should be meticulously implemented. Inspections and risk assessments of riverbanks and embankments must be intensified, while risks at low-lying and flood-prone areas should be promptly addressed and eliminated. The river network and drainage systems should prepare for preemptive drainage to free up storage capacity. Flood control materials must be replenished adequately, emergency response forces should be scientifically deployed and scheduled, market supply must be ensured to operate normally, and public services should maintain uninterrupted operation.
