强降雨致多地交通中断，交通运输部启动二级响应
China's Ministry of Transport has activated a level-2 emergency response as torrential rains cause flooding and landslides. The alert is one step below the highest level. It aims to safeguard road and rail networks and protect travelers.
The national meteorological authority issued its first red alert of the year earlier this week. Since May, five rounds of heavy rainfall have hit large parts of the country. The rains have triggered floods and landslides, disrupting transportation and forcing thousands to evacuate. In the southwestern city of Chongqing, officials launched a Level IV emergency response to coordinate rescue efforts. The extreme weather has also caused power outages and communication problems in some areas.
