East China's Zhejiang Province has adopted a series of precaution measures against the nearing Typhoon Pulasan, the 14th typhoon of the year, which is expected to make landfall along Zhejiang's coastal areas between Thursday afternoon and evening.
Earlier on Wednesday, the province activated the Level-IV emergency response and raised it to Level III at 09:30 on Thursday.
Taizhou City of Zhejiang, where landfall is expected, has implemented comprehensive measures to brace for the approaching typhoon.
Jiantiao town in Sanmen County of Taizhou is home to more than 30 marine-related enterprises, and local staff have conducted inspections and reinforcements on relevant vessels, gantry cranes, and mobile cranes in advance.
Currently, more than 3,000 workers in the town have temporarily stopped work and evacuated.
The originally scheduled date for the opening of the East China Sea fishing season on September 16 was postponed due to the impact of Typhoon Bebinca and Typhoon Pulasan. Currently, over 3,000 fishing boats in Taizhou have all returned to ports to seek shelter.
In Sanjiangkou of Ningbo City, along the river embankment in Jiangbei District, approximately 55 kilometers of flood barriers have been constructed. In Yinzhou District, about 28 kilometers of flood barriers have also been built to ensure the safety of the shops and residents along the river.
At the same time, Ningbo City has activated a Level-IV response to Typhoon Pulasan. If the emergency response level is raised to Level-I, flood barriers will be further reinforced by approximately half a meter to reach a total height of 4.63 meters.
At present, 170 vessels are temporarily docked at various piers with the assistance of the maritime department. Meanwhile, the maritime authorities are strengthening inspections to ensure all boats are safely sheltered from the typhoon. All four ongoing water-related projects in the area have also been halted.
China has a four-tier emergency response system, with Level I being the most severe.
