Typhoon "Dussuri" has brought long-term rainfall and accumulated heavy rainfall to areas such as East China, Huanghuai, and North China, resulting in localized waterlogging and crop lodging in farmland.

Agricultural and rural departments at all levels in various regions should provide precise and precise guidance, focus on post disaster production recovery, promptly drain accumulated water in fields, repair damaged farmland facilities, and support disaster stricken areas in restoring production as soon as possible. We need to accurately assess the disaster situation of farmers and develop "one household, one policy" assistance measures to prevent poverty caused by disasters.

Meteorological experts remind that although the continuous rainfall in North China, Huanghuai and other areas has ended, there is still a risk of geological disasters. The public should not relax their vigilance. In the next three days, there will be heavy rainfall and severe convective weather in the Northeast region. The local public should pay attention to the latest warning and forecast information from the meteorological department, and travel safely and away from disaster prone areas and rivers.
