On October 1, the Quang Tri Provincial Steering Committee organized a flood and storm prevention and search and rescue drill in 2024 in Cam Hieu commune, Cam Lo district.
In the hypothetical scenario that storm No. 5 is about to make landfall in Quang Tri province, Cam Lo district is expected to be the storm's eye with strong winds and heavy rain that could cause flooding in the communes.
In this situation, the Quang Tri Provincial Steering Committee mobilized more than 800 people and officers and soldiers from various forces to participate in the exercise on three training issues, including: Information, propaganda, warning, bracing houses and mobilizing and evacuating people to safe places; deploying a plan to respond to collapsed structures and rescue victims; and rescue in deep flooded areas.
This is the practical phase of flood and storm prevention and search and rescue operations by leaders at all levels and participating forces. The participants in the exercise carried out actions very urgently, closely following the local practical situation, achieving the set goals and requirements.
Mr. Ha Sy Dong - Permanent Vice Chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee - affirmed that through this exercise, the participants have gained a lot of experience in leadership and direction from the stage of developing plans and documents to operating mechanisms and practicing exercises. This is also a handbook, a basis for each officer to continue to study, advise and organize implementation in the process of natural disaster prevention, search and rescue. At the same time, propose new plans and measures suitable for the current unusual natural disaster developments.
