BEIJING, Aug. 7 (Xinhua) -- China's national commission for disaster prevention, reduction and relief on Thursday initiated a Level-IV emergency response to address severe flooding in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, according to the Ministry of Emergency Management.
A specialized team has been deployed to the affected areas to assist local relief operations, with particular focus on ensuring basic livelihoods for impacted residents.
In a coordinated effort, the commission partnered with the Ministry of Emergency Management and the National Food and Strategic Reserves Administration to distribute 47,400 units of central relief supplies on Thursday. The aid package includes tents, folding beds, blankets and winter clothing to support disaster rescue and relocation efforts in the region.
The National Development and Reform Commission has allocated 80 million yuan (about 11.21 million U.S. dollars) from the central budget to support emergency recovery efforts following the floods in Inner Mongolia.
The funds will focus on restoring damaged water supply and transport systems, schools, and other infrastructure and public service facilities in affected areas, accelerating the return to normal production and daily life, the commission said.
