On September 5, the Standing Committee of Thai Binh Provincial Party Committee issued urgent dispatch No. 16-CD/TU dated September 4 to agencies, units, and localities throughout the province regarding the implementation of response measures to storm No. 3 (international name Yagi).
Accordingly, to proactively respond to storm No. 3, the Standing Committee of Thai Binh Provincial Party Committee requested Party committees, authorities and the entire political system of the province to urgently strengthen information and propaganda work on the developments and dangerous and complicated nature of storm No. 3.
Make cadres, party members, civil servants, public employees, workers, business community and people of all walks of life clearly aware of the level of danger caused by storm No. 3; avoid the mindset of leaving storm prevention and control work to the authorities, especially the subjective and negligent mindset due to the fact that there have been no major storms in the province for many years.
Previously, on the morning of September 5, Vice Chairman of Thai Binh Provincial People's Committee Lai Van Hoan inspected key points on the sea dike in Tien Hai district including: Tan Lap sluice, Nam Hong embankment, Lan I sluice; inspected the anchorage area of watercraft of Hai Ha Waterway Transport Company Limited at Hai Ha Petro petroleum port warehouse (Thai Thuong commune, Thai Thuy district).
At the inspection sites, Mr. Lai Van Hoan Hoan requested the two coastal districts of Tien Hai and Thai Thuy to notify owners of vehicles and captains of ships and boats operating at sea of the location, direction of movement and developments of the storm so that they can proactively prevent, avoid, escape or not move into dangerous areas.
Urgently evacuate clam farming, aquaculture, seafood farming workers and households living in weak and dangerous housing areas, low-lying areas along rivers and estuaries, and fishermen on boats working on rivers and at sea to safe places.
At key locations of dikes, functional sectors and localities need to proactively arrange on-duty forces, fully prepare reserve supplies, vehicles, and human resources to be ready for rescue when situations arise...
