From the evening of November 6, coastal areas from Hue City to Dak Lak should be on guard against rising sea levels accompanied by large waves causing flooding in low-lying areas, waves of dike overflow, coastal roads, and coastal erosion, slowing flood drainage in the area.
On the mainland along the coast from South Quang Tri to Da Nang, the East of Quang Ngai and Dak Lak provinces, the wind will gradually increase to level 6-7, then increase to level 8-9, the area near the storm's eye will be strong at level 10-12 (focusing on the East of Quang Ngai - Dak Lak provinces), gusting to level 14-15.

People and tourists should regularly update official meteorological bulletins, especially if they plan to travel to the Central region or go to sea in the coming days.
If you are planning to visit coastal areas of Vietnam such as Da Nang, Hue, Quy Nhon, Nha Trang or Phu Quoc, you should avoid booking an island tour close to the storm's land (cano, coral diving...).
If the sea is rough due to remote influence, some localities may temporarily stop ships going to the island such as Ly Son, Cu Lao Cham, Con Dao, Phu Quy...
