Beijing activated a Level II flood-control emergency response, the second-highest level, on Tuesday as authorities warned of heavy rain and heightened risks of urban waterlogging and landslides.
Most parts of the city are expected to receive more than 100 millimeters of rain within six hours and over 150 millimeters within 24 hours from Tuesday evening through Thursday, according to the Beijing meteorological service.
Beijing issued an orange alert for rainstorms at 10 a.m. Monday, while several districts, including Fangshan, Daxing and Tongzhou, issued the highest-level red alerts.
Authorities said residents in high-risk areas would be evacuated by Tuesday evening. Construction work will be suspended, and mountain campsites and scenic areas will be closed.
Starting Wednesday, employers are encouraged to adopt flexible working hours or staggered schedules. Schools may suspend classes and in-person training depending on conditions, while organized outdoor sports activities will be halted.
Beijing's drainage authorities have put 252 flood-control teams on standby. Preparations, including the installation of flood barriers, have also been stepped up at 368 subway stations, 33 hospital campuses and 17 elderly care facilities.
In Fangshan, where exceptionally heavy rain is forecast, authorities have begun evacuating residents from high-risk areas ahead of the downpours and deployed emergency rescue teams and supplies, with more than 150,000 items of emergency equipment and materials on standby.

。    Ottawa, Oct 12 (UNI) Two Canadian police officers were shot dead in the line of duty, local police said on Wednesday.
In a news release, the South Simcoe Police Service said its officers responded to a call at a home near 25th Sideroad and 9th Line in the Town of Innisfil, about 100 km from Toronto, at approximately 7:55 p.m. (2355 GMT) on Tuesday.
The two officers were shot inside the home. The suspect was later pronounced dead following an interaction with police, according to the release.
Police have not said what the initial call was for. Both officers were rushed to a local hospital, where one died. Shortly after 7:30 a.m. (1130 GMT) on Wednesday, police announced on social media that the second officer had also died.
The release said Ontario's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) is now investigating, which happens when a person is seriously injured or killed as a result of a police interaction.
The shooting came a month after Toronto Police Const. Andrew Hong and two others were fatally shot by a gunman near Toronto on Sept. 12.
