China's Ministry of Natural Resources has launched a comprehensive risk and hazard排查 across the Gyirong region following a major mudslide disaster, according to 中国网新闻中心. The move comes as rescue teams continue their search operations in the affected area.
The ministry's announcement, reported on Sunday, signals a shift toward identifying remaining dangers and preventing secondary disasters. The survey covers regional risk factors linked to the mudslide, which struck the area near the China-Nepal border.
Rescue efforts remain intensive, with reports from 新浪财经 indicating that mud and debris in the worst-hit zone exceed one meter in depth. A force of 711 rescue personnel and 13 search dogs is conducting continuous grid searches across the affected area, according to the same outlet.
Additional reporting from dw.com notes that Chinese authorities have released information about foreign nationals missing in the disaster. The publication highlights several recent developments in the cross-border emergency response, though specific details on those individuals were not provided in the available material.
凤凰网 reports that rescue teams are working to repair and reopen critical access routes into the disaster zone. Meanwhile, 搜狐网 describes an immigration management emergency rescue team carrying out地毯式 (carpet-style) search operations.
The mudslide has drawn a multi-agency response involving geological survey teams, rescue workers, and border management officials. The Ministry of Natural Resources' risk assessment is expected to guide further evacuation and safety measures.
What to watch next: Whether the risk survey identifies additional vulnerable zones requiring evacuation, and how quickly key transport links can be restored to support relief operations.
