According to forecast information from the meteorological and hydrological agency, storm No. 4 has formed in the East Sea, is continuing to move, has complicated developments and is likely to directly affect the Northern region, including Hanoi City. The storm's circulation is likely to cause heavy rain, strong winds, potential risk of flooding, broken and fallen trees and affecting technical infrastructure in the city.
Before the developments of storm No. 4, on August 22, the Hanoi City Technical Infrastructure Management Center held a meeting to deploy response work to storm No. 4 and heavy rain due to the impact of the storm.
Accordingly, units urgently complete response plans for storm No. 4 with the highest response scenario, ensuring the motto "4 on-the-spot" (command on-the-spot, forces on-the-spot, vehicles, materials on-the-spot and logistics on-the-spot) and the principle "6 clear" (clear people, clear tasks, clear time, clear responsibilities, clear products, clear authority); mobilize 100% of human resources, vehicles, materials, and equipment, ready to deploy immediately according to actual developments.
From August 22, units will maintain 24/24 hour on-site duty until the end of the storm's impact period; arrange forces, vehicles, materials, and equipment in key areas and locations according to the developed plan; proactively deploy response measures and promptly handle arising situations.
For the drainage sector: Arrange at least 2,500 personnel, 200 vehicles and other tools and equipment to participate in storm response work.
At the same time, pay special attention to preparing sufficient fuel, backup generators, sandbags to serve water prevention; proactively deploy all necessary measures to protect, prevent flooding of pumping stations, and ensure the continuous operation of pumping stations and drainage systems during the storm's impact.
Continue to lower and maintain the lake water level corresponding to the response scenario at the highest level; coordinate with the Department of Agriculture and Environment and related units to lower the buffer water level on the drainage system in suburban areas to increase the ability to receive, regulate, drain water and reduce the risk of flooding in urban areas.
Promptly study solutions to supplement the system of ditches and water collection stations in some areas, including the area in front of My Dinh Stadium Square (Le Quang Dao Street, Le Duc Tho Street, Tan My Street) and the area in front of Chu Van An School gate (Thuy Khue Street) to increase water collection and drainage capacity, limit localized flooding and water stagnation in the area.
For the field of green trees: Mobilize at least 1,200 personnel, 150 vehicles and other tools and equipment to participate in storm response work; especially note that for the work of clearing broken and fallen trees, 100% of manpower, vehicles, machinery, and equipment of the unit must be mobilized; arrange rapid response teams according to each area in the managed area, ensuring timely handling and clearing of broken and fallen trees, ensuring traffic safety; promptly restore trees with recovery capacity and implement necessary measures to ensure safety after restoration; prepare sufficient protective equipment, chainsaws and necessary tools and equipment for local forces to be mobilized and coordinate to participate in handling broken and fallen trees (if any).
Review and handle shade trees at risk of breaking and falling; strengthen inspection and supervision of trees at risk throughout the storm's impact period to promptly detect and handle arising situations.
For the lighting sector: Mobilize at least 300 personnel and 60 vehicles and other tools and equipment to participate in storm response work.
Regularly inform and coordinate with units to maintain drainage and green trees to promptly determine the scope and level of impact on the public lighting system, proactively implement handling measures to ensure electrical safety; restore and restore power to the urban lighting system as soon as safety conditions are met.
