China's Disaster Response Systems Tested as Floods and Typhoon Hit Beijing Region

China's disaster response systems are being tested as record rainfall and flooding caused by Typhoon Doksuri continue to affect the country. Swollen rivers and waterlogged cities have led to the evacuation of thousands of people, with the Hai river basin experiencing its most severe flooding since 1996. The province of Hebei, particularly the city of Zhuozhou, has been hit the hardest, with floodwaters expected to take up to a month to recede. China's rapid urbanization and extreme weather driven by global warming have exacerbated the risks of urban waterlogging, with 98% of major cities prone to flooding.
