Along with the relocation, the province has prepared more than 79,000 boxes of instant noodles, 12,900 boxes of dry food, 500 tons of rice, thousands of bottles of drinking water and other essential foods and medicines.
The military force established 5 defense areas at key locations, both commanding and coordinating, and ensuring logistics and means in case of emergency situations.
In the evening of the same day, border guards in the north of the province evacuated dozens of households in the dangerous area.
