Typhoon Mangkhu

Guest speakers and members of the audience at Sunday’s Macau Forum said that while the government properly carried out its tasks in responding to Super Typhoon Mangkhut that pummelled on September 16, the government will need to carry out additional measures with the aim of fundamentally solving the long-standing flooding issue in the city’s low-lying areas when storm surges hit the city during typhoons.

A number of households in the city’s flood-hit neighbourhoods following the onslaught of Super Typhoon Mangkhut were still without power Monday night due to flood-damaged electricity-supply components in their buildings.

Macau begins recovery after battered by Typhoon Mangkhut on Sunday. The typhoon caused floods in the low lying areas of the city but no casualties were reported.
