Cities in China’s Yangtze River Delta region triggered emergency responses

Cities in China’s Yangtze River Delta region have triggered emergency responses, including cancellation of trains and flights, road closures, and the relocation of affected civilians, after Typhoon Bebinca made landfall in Shanghai on Monday, causing extensive disruption as it moves northwestward.

In preparation for the storm, the city had relocated over 410,000 residents, canceled 577 trains and 1,461 flights. China’s National Meteorological Center said that Bebinca will bring more heavy or torrential rain to Shanghai, northern Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, Anhui and Henan in the next three days.
