BEIJING, Sept. 14 -- China has upgraded the typhoon alert to orange, the second-highest level, as Muifa, the 12th typhoon in this year, is expected to make landfall in the coastal areas between Wenling city and Zhoushan city in southeast China's Zhejiang Province during the afternoon and night of September 14. The Zhejiang and Fujian Provincial Bureaus of China Coast Guard (CCG) have taken multiple precautionary measures to mitigate possible disasters.
北京9月14日电 今年第12号台风“梅花”预计将于14日下午到夜间在浙江温岭到舟山一带沿海登陆，登陆时强度为台风级或强台风级。浙江、福建海警局多措并举，密切关注台风动向，积极开展防御台风准备工作，切实构筑防灾减灾救灾安全防线。
Upon receiving the alert, the Zhejiang and Fujian Provincial Bureaus launched related emergency response plans against typhoon disaster, prepared enough relief materials, and strengthened real-time monitoring for in-depth analysis on Muifa's route.
接到台风预警后，浙江、福建海警局全面启动防台方案，备足防台救灾物资，强化监测预警，实时收集掌握台风最新动向，深入分析台风移动路径。
At the wharfs and mountain flats within the coastal harbors in the two provinces, CCG law enforcement personnel were busy guiding the vessels to take shelter in an orderly manner, and combed the sea areas and coastlines under the jurisdiction to have careful inspection of the breaches in the dykes and seawalls, prepared sandbags and reinforced low-lying areas against seawater intrusion.
At the same time, they also ensured that all the water-side population had received the typhoon warnings and been aware of the typhoon prevention measures, and helped them reinforce the ship's mooring cables, check the hull condition, sort out and carry fishing gears, and overhaul security facilities.
各级海警执法员深入港岙口、码头一线，有序引导作业船只进港避风；同时对辖区海域及岸线组织拉网式排查，细密检查堤坝海塘缺口、装填堵漏沙袋，对低洼处进行加高加固以防海水倒灌；向广大船民告知台风预警信息、普及防台风知识，并帮助加固船舶缆绳、检查船体情况、整理搬运渔具、检修安防设施，全面做好群众服务和帮困解难工作。
