The total economic loss was put at more than 275 billion yuan, according to the ministry.
The central finance authority has recently allocated 195 million yuan to subsidize local governments in those regions worst-hit by natural disasters such as rainstorms and typhoons.
The fund, which has been channeled to Jilin, Guangdong, Sichuan and Shaanxi, as well as the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, will be used to relocate residents, help people rebuild homes and offer relief to residents who lost family members.
"We are investigating the losses of local residents, and the government will allocate money to help flood-hit families rebuild their homes as soon as possible," said Liu Weiyi, vice mayor of Dunhua.
