What are the types of weather warning signals and what do colors mean?

The colors of the weather forecast warning signals are blue, yellow, orange and red in turn, and they are marked in Chinese and English, representing average, heavy, serious and super-serious respectively. This practice began in China in recent two years after Europe and America. Generally speaking, above the orange signal, people should not go out and be prepared for disaster prevention.

The following is an introduction of the warning signal by Anhui Meteorological Bureau, which may be helpful for the landlord to understand this thing.

In order to prevent and mitigate meteorological disasters, protect people's lives and the safety of the state, collectives and individuals' property, according to the Meteorological Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Regulations on Meteorological Management of Anhui Province, combined with the actual situation of our province, the Anhui Meteorological Bureau and the Anhui Provincial Bureau of Radio, Film and Television jointly studied and formulated the Provisions on the Release of Meteorological Disaster Early Warning Signals in Anhui Province, which are hereby promulgated. All units shall, in accordance with the prescribed requirements, cooperate with each other and do a good job in the release of meteorological disaster warning signals.

First, the early warning signal of meteorological disasters in Anhui Province is the unified signal of our province's defense against meteorological disasters, and the early warning signals of meteorological disasters in various places must obey these provisions.

Two, Anhui meteorological disaster warning signal issued by the meteorological offices and stations affiliated to the competent meteorological departments at or above the county level, any organization or individual shall not be released to the public in any way.
