'We're not like New Orleans': official

Typhoons are such a common occurrence that local officials have set aside designated buildings as shelters for the evacuated.

"We started to construct strong buildings that are able to withstand strong winds ... in every village five or six years ago," said an official surnamed Wu at the Hainan province flood control headquarters.

"People can be evacuated into these buildings on short notice."

The shelters, including schools or office buildings, are stocked with food and water, officials said.

Government work teams are also dispatched to villages and towns to assist local officials with evacuations.

"Everyone knows exactly where to go and what to do," Wu said.

Evacuations are also done much earlier and forcefully if necessary, Wang said.

"We don't have as many cars and our roads are not as good, but we evacuate up to two days in advance," said Wang. "In China, if you don't want to leave, we force you.

"In the United States, they probably consider the economic losses if they force people to evacuate too early and people complaining of inconvenience if the typhoon turns out to be not so serious."
