Beijing, June 14, 2025 – Typhoon Butterfly has made its second landfall in South China, triggering a coordinated emergency response from national authorities. The State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters (SFDH) and the Ministry of Emergency Management (MEM) are jointly organizing efforts to prevent disasters, provide rescue assistance, and minimize potential damage.

According to a release on the MEM’s official WeChat account, a joint consultation was held on June 14, bringing together experts from the China Meteorological Administration, the Ministry of Water Resources, and the Ministry of Natural Resources. The meeting focused on analyzing the development trends of Typhoon Butterfly, the first typhoon of the year, and the heavy rainfall affecting South China and regions along the Yangtze River.

The consultation aimed to strategically deploy current flood control and typhoon prevention measures. The Director of the State Flood Control Office and Vice Minister of the Ministry of Emergency Management is leading the effort to ensure a swift and effective response to the unfolding situation.

The SFDH and MEM are closely monitoring the typhoon’s path and intensity, coordinating with local governments to implement necessary precautions, including:

Evacuation: Identifying and evacuating residents from high-risk areas, such as coastal communities and areas prone to flooding or landslides.
Reinforcement: Strengthening infrastructure, including dams, levees, and coastal defenses, to withstand the impact of strong winds and heavy rainfall.
Emergency Response Teams: Deploying emergency response teams and resources to affected areas, including rescue personnel, equipment, and supplies.
Public Awareness: Issuing timely warnings and information to the public, advising them on safety measures and evacuation procedures.

The re-emergence of Typhoon Butterfly underscores the increasing challenges posed by extreme weather events. The SFDH and MEM are committed to safeguarding lives and property through proactive planning, coordinated action, and effective communication.

Conclusion:

The second landfall of Typhoon Butterfly in South China necessitates a robust and coordinated emergency response. The SFDH and MEM’s joint efforts to monitor the situation, deploy resources, and implement preventative measures are crucial to minimizing the typhoon’s impact and ensuring the safety of affected communities. As climate change continues to exacerbate extreme weather events, ongoing investment in disaster preparedness and resilience is essential.
