China has sent a team of experts to north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region where the embankment of a river was breached Tuesday following recent torrential rains. The dike breach, measuring over 10 meters in width, occurred at the Laoha River in Taipingdi Town of Chifeng City, according to China's News Agency (Xinhua). The Chinese Ministry of Emergency Management has deployed 100 people and 35 sets of rescue equipment from a disaster response base to handle the emergency and arranged another 460 rescuers, 56 sets of equipment and 4 helicopters on standby. Efforts should be made to swiftly block the breach and reinforce the embankment, transfer local residents and restore the normal order in the area as soon as possible, the ministry said.
