At the Forward Command Department of Song Cau Ward, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Dao My chaired a meeting with coastal units and localities to review plans to respond to high tides, floods and landslides.
He requested that all evacuation, house tying, and boat mooring be completed before 3:00 p.m. the same day.
On the same day, Ms. Cao Thi Hoa An - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Dak Lak Provincial People's Council - led a working group to inspect the landslides on the Bach Dang embankment and Tuy Hoa market area.
Bach Dang embankment has degraded, many locations have been hit by deep waves, some places have stretched for tens of meters. Although the locality has issued a warning fence, erosion is still spreading due to the impact of storms and winds.
Ms. Hoa An directed the locality and related units to urgently reinforce and prevent vehicles from passing, ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. At the same time, it is required to report the repair progress at the upcoming People's Council meeting.
According to the Dak Lak Provincial People's Committee, the eastern area (old Phu Yen province) currently has two seriously damaged embankment works including Bach Dang embankment 3,546 km long) and the embankment south of the Da Rang river (about 2 km long), with a total repair capital need of about 250 billion VND.
The province recommends that the Central Government allocate priority capital to repair and upgrade these works, ensuring the safety of reservoirs and residents in downstream areas during the rainy and flood season.
At Tuy Hoa market, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested the Market Management Board to guide traders to raise their goods, move their assets to warehouses; and at the same time, inspect and develop flood prevention plans in low-lying areas.
By the morning of November 6, the construction cranes in Tuy Hoa ward had been lowered in height and turned inside to avoid affecting residential areas when the storm was strong.
