Many cities in the province have been hit by rainfall, with transportation, telecommunications, and power supply disrupted. More than 800-thousand people have been affected by the flood, and the economic loss has climbed to a whopping 2.07 billion yuan, or nearly 340 million US dollars.

Local flood control and drought relief offices issued a level-three emergency response and sent teams to flood-swept areas. Residents were left stranded by a landslide in Fushun, one of the most severely flood hit cities.

Firefighters were not immediately able to reach the area due to damaged roads. After repairing the road overnight, they managed to contact the residents early on Sunday and take them to a shelter. 19 reservoirs have been prepared in Dandong for possible flooding in the area.
