China Flood Typhoon Response

SITUATION REPORT: August 3, 2023

Doksuri made landfall in the coastal county of Jinjiang in Fujian province, China, on July 28 at noon local time, with winds reaching speeds of 175kph (108mph), and causing record-breaking rainfall over 5 days. Several southeastern provinces in China were heavily affected, including the capital Beijing and the nearby province of Hebei. Heavy rainfall caused rivers to swell, damaging bridges and prompting evacuations. According to the latest reports, over 1.5 million residents (about the population of West Virginia) are affected with 20 deaths and 200,000 people displaced.
