Definition
防汛 (fáng xùn) is a compound verb meaning 'to take flood prevention measures' — it specifically refers to seasonal flood control and preparedness. Unlike the general verb 防 (fáng) 'to prevent' or 防止 (fáng zhǐ) 'to prevent', 防汛 already includes the object 'flood' and is used for organized, large-scale efforts. 防范 (fáng fàn) is broader, meaning 'to guard against' any danger.
