China's Ministry of Transport held a safety-committee plenary and a Q3 transport safety video conference, ordering accelerated dynamic elimination of major hazards and stepped-up proactive defenses for the flood/typhoon season. Measures to be implemented include heavy-rain protocols of response, patrol and control; targeted controls in high-risk areas during prolonged rain; enforcement of flood-season safety responsibilities for key ordinary highways; inland-river navigation restrictions and bans; maritime typhoon precautions for vessels; and port flood- and typhoon-contingency measures.
