NANCHANG - East China's Jiangxi province Saturday raised its flood-control response from level II to level I, the top level of China's four-tier emergency response for floods.
The provincial flood control and drought relief headquarters said that 2,242 km of the 2,545 km of riverside and lakeside embankments in the province have seen water levels exceeding the warning marks.
Floods since July 6 have affected over 5 million people and damaged over 443,000 hectares of crops, according to the headquarters Saturday.
