The Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control of Ha Tinh province requested the Provincial Border Guard Command, Ha Tinh Maritime Port Authority, the Subcommittee for Fisheries Safety at Sea, and the Steering Committees for Disaster Prevention and Control of coastal districts to closely monitor forecasts of tropical depressions.
Notify owners of vehicles and captains of ships and boats operating at sea of the location, direction of movement and developments of the tropical depression so that they can proactively avoid, escape or not move into dangerous areas and have appropriate production plans to ensure safety of people and property.
Maintain communication with vehicle owners to promptly handle possible bad situations; prepare forces and vehicles for rescue when requested.
Localities direct grassroots information systems to strengthen information activities on natural disaster situations in the area, propagate and disseminate instructions on storm and flood response skills so that people know, proactively prevent, avoid and minimize damage.
Deploy shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, low-lying areas, and areas at high risk of flooding, flash floods, and landslides; proactively evacuate people in dangerous areas to safe places.
Organize forces to guard, control, and guide traffic safety for people and vehicles, especially at culverts, spillways, deep flooded areas, areas with strong currents, areas where landslides have occurred or are at risk of landslides; arrange forces, materials, and means to overcome incidents, and ensure smooth traffic on main traffic routes.
