Hearing the forecast that the tropical depression would strengthen into storm No. 4, causing heavy rain and affecting Quang Tri, from the morning of September 18, Mr. Dao Van Dinh (residing in Ha Tay village, Trieu An commune, Trieu Phong district, Quang Tri province) pulled his family's 16CV boat into the storm shelter area. In addition to the 2 anchors that were dropped, Mr. Dinh covered the boat with a tarpaulin and tied a few more ropes to ensure safety.

Mr. Tran Van Quang (residing in Ha Tay village, Trieu An commune) also pulled his family's 12CV boat to the shelter. Mr. Quang brought the fishing nets ashore, and the boat was covered with a tarpaulin, anchored, and tied carefully. After storm No. 3, Mr. Quang went out to sea but could not catch many fish because the water was murky. "Hearing that low pressure and storms could affect us, I and other fishermen brought the boat ashore to protect our property. We will only go out to sea when the weather is calm and the sea is calm," said Mr. Quang.

People in coastal areas of Quang Tri province have experienced many storms and floods, so when there is a forecast, people proactively take their boats to take shelter. In the photo, the storm shelter at Nam Cua Viet fishing port (Trieu Phong district) has many fishing boats anchored.

The Quang Tri Province Border Guard uses loudspeakers to call on ships entering storm shelters to anchor and tie ropes securely. And when tropical depressions and storms are affecting them, they are absolutely not allowed to stay on the boat.
