The churches situated in Hebei Province engaged in initiatives for flood prevention and disaster relief, demonstrating their commitment through financial and material contributions.
Extreme weather occurred in Harbin, Mudanjiang, Suihua, Qitaihe, Jixi, and other places in Heilongjiang Province due to the influence of typhoons "Doksuri" and "Khanun".
