Guigang City in Guangxi experienced widespread damage from continuous heavy rainfall brought by Typhoon Maysak. As of 3pm on July 13, all five counties (districts/cities) were affected, with 827,000 people impacted and 175,300 evacuated to 54 emergency shelters.
In terms of power supply, the disaster cut electricity to 446,000 households. After repairs, 424,000 households have had service restored, while 22,000 remain without power, including the Provence, Jihuayuan, and Yuheyuan residential compounds. Over 10,000 support workers were mobilized from outside the region to accelerate community-level repairs, and more than 370 emergency power vehicles were deployed for temporary supply.
Transport was disrupted at 327 points, of which 297 have been reopened, leaving 30 still closed. Urban roads are largely accessible, and damaged rural roads have been made temporarily passable. Dangerous sections with landslides are under warning and risk control, and temporarily opened roads have been reinforced.
Regarding telecommunications, 1,515 base stations have been restored, while 1,314 are still under repair. Repair teams and emergency communication vehicles are working segment by segment on water-damaged stations and optical cables.
Water supply is maintained through fixed-point delivery by emergency water trucks, and damaged facilities in flooded areas are being repaired promptly. Subsequent work will strengthen pipeline maintenance and water quality control, with comprehensive inspection of affected networks.
Going forward, Guigang plans to continue power recovery and intensify network restoration, following a “one area, one task force” approach for each residential compound. Strengthened coordination among telecommunication firms is planned, along with expedited drainage in collaboration with municipal departments, prioritized power restoration with the power supply department, and continuous monitoring of the situation with pre-positioned emergency communication equipment. Road and water supply recovery will be accelerated, and funding for water-damaged rural roads will be sought.
