China has established an emergency response mechanism for disaster prevention and mitigation to serve countries along the Belt and Road, said the China Meteorological Administration(CMA) on Wednesday.

Under the mechanism, those countries can submit applications to the World Meteorological Organization for starting the mechanism once they encounter typhoon, rainstorm, sandstorm or other extreme weather.

The CMA then would operate on-duty Fengyun satellites to carry frequent regional observation over the disaster areas every five to six minutes, so as to ensure the timely release of essential information for disaster relief.

China has launched 16 Fengyun satellites in nearly 50 years and among them nine are still in in-orbit operation.
