The Ministry of Emergency Management on Saturday activated a Level-IV national geological disaster emergency response for Anhui, Hubei, Hunan and Guizhou provinces.
China has a four-tier emergency response system, with Level I being the most severe.
Meteorological forecasts warn that heavy downpours are expected to lash regions spanning from the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and Guizhou to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River.

The ministry has urged local authorities in these regions to closely monitor rainfall, flood conditions and geological disaster risks.
