Floods are becoming more frequent, more intense and are impacting more lives.
Resilience is no longer optional. It must shape how we plan, invest, and respond to protect lives and support economies.
The signal is clear:
Floods after heavy storms trapped some people in their cars and forced the evacuation of some tourists on the Greek holiday island of Crete, local officials said Saturday.
Floods show no mercy, but Guangxi doesn’t stand alone. Rescuers poured in from all directions.
From massive pontoon “carriers” smashing through the torrents to drones buzzing with relief supplies, Chinese tech provided a lifeline when roads were submerged.
Floods cut off all roads to Zhenlong Community, Hengzhou in Guangxi. Nanning Mobile team walked 20 hours through impassable mud to carry signal equipment in. They reopened external communication for trapped residents. Salute to our brave warriors fighting in floods!
