Beijing's Miyun District experienced severe flash floods following torrential rains that exceeded 300 millimeters between Saturday noon and early Sunday, triggering an extreme rainstorm. The flooding led to the evacuation of more than 3,000 residents and caused widespread disruption, including power outages and blocked roads. A resident's early warning saved over a dozen families before a village was submerged. The floods resulted in at least 44 deaths, including 31 elderly individuals trapped in a senior center. Authorities have acknowledged shortcomings in disaster preparedness and response. In response, Beijing has launched a comprehensive post-disaster recovery plan to assist the more than 300,000 people affected by the floods. The Party chief of Miyun district publicly reflected on the emergency plan gaps during a press conference, expressing remorse over the fatalities in the nursing home.
