The government and relevant agencies need to promptly provide disaster forecast information to the people, direct disaster prevention and control work in various forms; mobilize, propagate and implement an absolute ban on people's activities in areas at high risk of thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, hail, flash floods, landslides, etc.

People need to strictly follow the local government's instructions on disaster response and prevention.
