On July 29, Beijing issued a red early warning signal for heavy rain, prompting the municipal flood control headquarters to launch the city's flood control red alert (Level 1) early warning response at 19:00. The headquarters urged the general public to refrain from going out unless necessary. In response to the warning, various districts in Beijing took immediate and proactive countermeasures. A GT reporter observed emergency workers stationed at water collection points at Jin'an Bridge in Beijing's Shijingshan District fully prepared to respond to any emergencies that may arise.
