"Special attention should be paid to possible mudslides and cave-ins, as
rocks and earth were loosened by the floods and rains caused by previous
typhoons like Haitang, Matsa, and Talim," said Lu Keyuan, an expert from the
Zhejiang Provincial Water Resources Bureau.
Local authorities in Shanghai asked people working high above the ground or
near coastal areas to stop, and those living in work sheds or dilapidated houses
to be evacuated.
Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport cancelled more than 10 flights to
typhoon-affected southern cities including Zhoushan and Huangyan in Zhejiang
Province.
Neighbouring Jiangsu Province also issued a warning on Friday night, as it
expected Khanun to travel through the province and bring rainstorms beginning
yesterday afternoon.
The Jiangsu Provincial Meteorological Bureau recommended local businesses and
residents take proper measures to avoid damage.
