At the same time, continue to mobilize all resources to urgently overcome the consequences of the recent natural disasters.
In addition, localities must deploy shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, low-lying areas, areas at risk of floods, inundation, flash floods, and landslides to proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people to safe places and have plans to support food and necessities for people at evacuation sites.
For reservoir management units in Khanh Hoa, it is necessary to inspect, review and assess the status of works after the recent flood.
Timely detect and immediately repair arising damage, especially degraded or signs of unsafety; proactively prepare and implement plans to ensure the safety of the project when needed.
Reservoir management units must review, inventory and evaluate the water storage status of reservoirs, compile a list of reservoirs that must regulate floods and develop an implementation plan, along with situations and measures to respond to downstream floods.
In particular, the operation of reservoirs must comply with approved procedures; especially for reservoirs that are releasing floodwaters or opening valve gates, there must be flood warning measures, develop prevention scenarios, prioritize water regulation plans, minimize damage and ensure safety for downstream areas.
