This tragedy once again raises many issues for local authorities and authorities that need to be analyzed and thoroughly treated so as not to have to repeat similar cases in the future. Especially the warning work and drastic action of "far room" to reduce the risk of consequences.
According to official information, within the past 24 hours and at the time of the accident, there were 4 forecasts and warnings of thunderstorms, tornadoes, and strong gusts of wind issued by the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting and the Quang Ninh Hydrometeorological Station.
These bulletins not only clearly state dangerous phenomena but also send them to all local authorities, from the Provincial People's Committee, Port Authority, Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention to media agencies. However, cruise ships only received a 15-minute warning when the QN-7105 cruise ship tragedy occurred.
Looking back in the past, similar dramas like this are not uncommon in localities, especially in the Central region during the rainy and stormy seasons. And all have a common pattern: there are warnings, but disaster still comes. That pain forces us to look back, if the warnings are assessed by the authorities of Quang Ninh province as a deeper risk for more drastic action, instead of a warning message via Zalo to the ship owner.
Natural disasters are of course a matter of force. But the way people deal with natural disasters will contribute to the extent of damage.
