On November 4, localities in Khanh Hoa province are urgently reviewing and being ready to deploy response plans to strong storms and floods after the storm, ensuring absolute safety for people and property.
Accordingly, the People's Committees of communes, wards and special zones in the province have proactively developed detailed scenarios, prepared safety protection plans for people, vehicles and property in key areas such as tourist attractions, aquaculture and fishing areas, works at sea, islands and coastal areas.
In particular, localities should strengthen inspections of areas at high risk of flash floods and landslides to proactively evacuate people to safe places when there are emergency situations.
Mr. Nguyen Duy Quang - Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment, Deputy Head of the Khanh Hoa Provincial Civil Defense Command - informed that the authorities are applying terrain data, weather forecast combined with field reflections to provide timely and accurate response plans.
The plan to relocate people in vulnerable areas will be activated as soon as needed, based on pre-constructed scenarios.
Each commune-level government has a plan to reserve enough food, clean water, and medicine for 5-7 days for households at risk of being isolated.
In all situations, protecting people's lives is a top priority - evacuation orders will always be implemented earlier, not waiting until natural disasters occur before evacuating people.
