[Explanation] Facing the approaching typhoon No. 4 "Hagupit", all parts of Zhejiang entered the countdown to prevent typhoon. At 22:00 on August 3, the center of "Hagupit" was located on the sea about 135 kilometers southeast of Wenzhou, with a maximum wind force of 13 near the center. It is expected that "Hagupit" will most likely land on the coast from Wenling to Cangnan in Zhejiang Province from the night of the 3rd to the early morning of the 4th. On the afternoon of the 3rd, the reporter came to a resettlement site in Yueqing City, Wenzhou, Zhejiang. Some people have already been transferred there.

The phone said there was a typhoon, and our boss arranged for us to come here. Just ask us to clean up the house and bring all the valuable things with us. I don’t think it’s that scary. Looking at so many people, they should have experience. Protect every year. I don’t think I’m so scared to be with them.

In fact, we had already arranged the street work yesterday, and today we held a special meeting, and then implemented it according to our original typhoon plan. The material (guarantee) is now a mask. If you come in, you must wear a mask, including the temperature measurement at our door. Every time I came here, there were 500 or 600 people. Basically, they came from large construction sites. They all provide food and drink on the site, but our territorial government also provides 500 servings of food and drink, including the water we put in the warehouse.
[Explanation] It is reported that Wenzhou Anti-Typhoon Class I emergency response was launched at 16:00 on August 3rd. There are 6,114 fishing boats in the city. On August 1, 1,516 fishing boats were allowed to go to sea. The typhoon went to sea for 388 ships, all of which have returned to harbor for shelter or are in safe waters.

One is that the time is tight, it will be generated on August 1, and will be logged in soon. In such a tight time, we have done everything we can to transfer personnel. The second is that we are in all emergency teams, all emergency teams in towns and villages have been on duty. The third is that all our homework has been stopped at noon today. The fourth is for people who are curious about the possibility of a typhoon. We are constantly coming over to patrol to ensure that these people do not come out to avoid accidents.
