Typhoon Yagi and Its Aftermath
On September 6, 2024, Typhoon Yagi, one of the strongest autumn typhoons ever to make landfall in China, struck Wengtian Town in Wenchang City, Hainan Province. The typhoon’s powerful winds and torrential rains devastated the island, causing unprecedented damage. Yagi affected 52.61 million people across 19 cities and counties in Hainan Province, with direct economic losses in Haikou City amounting to approximately 26.324 billion RMB, and 32.7 billion RMB in Wenchang City. Countless homes collapsed, crops were destroyed, and trees were uprooted, posing severe challenges to the lives and livelihoods of the people of Hainan.

In response to this natural disaster, Xinlong Holding Group demonstrated its corporate responsibility, embodying the spirit of “great love shines through in times of disaster.”
Proactive Measures: Building a Strong Safety Shield
To prepare for Typhoon Yagi’s arrival, Xinlong Holding Group’s Party Committee swiftly activated its emergency response mechanism, forming a 30-member emergency response team led by Party members and officials. The leadership team took to the front lines at the factory, overseeing wind and flood prevention efforts to ensure that all emergency preparations were in place. Upholding the principle of “people first, life first,” the group set the goal of “no fatalities, fewer injuries, and minimized losses,” conducting thorough safety inspections and implementing typhoon precautions to reduce property losses and safeguard employee lives.

Government Support: A Strong Backbone for Reconstruction
Throughout the post-disaster reconstruction, the Hainan Provincial Party Committee, the provincial government, and relevant departments, as well as the Chengmai County Party Committee and county government, provided significant attention and strong support. This ensured a solid foundation for Xinlong Holding Group’s disaster prevention, relief efforts, and the resumption of work and production.
