The Department of Irrigation and Climate Change requires localities to proactively develop response plans according to the "four on-site" principle (on-site forces, on-site command, on-site means, on-site logistics). Communes and wards at high risk focus on reviewing and inspecting residential areas along hills, rivers, streams, and coastlines, and proactively evacuating people.

For dam owners, hydroelectric and irrigation projects, the city requires regular inspection and timely handling of vulnerable points such as: upstream and downstream dams, deep discharge culverts, penstocks, dam shoulder areas and lake banks. Operation management units must ensure the safety of the project, prevent landslides on the lake banks or blockage of flow.
