On the evening of September 26, the National Civil Defense Steering Committee issued a telegram on proactively responding to storm No. 10, international name Bualoi.

Storm No. 10 is very strong and moves very fast.

The dispatch said that tonight, storm Bualoi entered the East Sea, becoming storm number 10 of 2025. Currently, storm number 10 has a gust intensity of level 11, gust level 14 and is likely to strengthen.

This is a very fast moving storm at about 35km/h, twice the speed of normal storms, very strong storm intensity, wide range of influence, can cause combined impacts of many types of natural disasters such as strong winds, heavy rains, floods, flash floods, landslides and coastal flooding.

At the same time, the storm circulation caused heavy rain in the Northern and North Central regions, generally from 200-400mm, locally over 600mm in some places, which is the area that has suffered heavy damage due to storm No. 3, storm No. 5 and floods in recent times.

To proactively respond to storms and post-storm floods, and avoid subjective thinking immediately after responding to storm No. 9, the National Steering Committee for Civil Defense requested ministries, branches and People's Committees of coastal provinces and cities from Quang Ninh to Khanh Hoa to direct decisively, early and from afar to minimize damage to people and property.

Based on the situation, promptly ban the sea

Specifically, for sea routes, the National Civil Defense Steering Committee requires close monitoring of storm developments, strict management of offshore vessels, and notification to owners of vessels 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 avoid it or return to safe shelters.

The National Civil Defense Steering Committee also requested the sea route to deploy work to ensure safety for people, vehicles, and property, especially for tourist spots, aquaculture, fishing, and constructions at sea, on islands, and in coastal areas.

Based on the specific situation, proactively decide to ban fishing boats, transport ships, and tourist boats from the sea, paying attention to banning the sea earlier than previous storms and evacuating people in cages, aquaculture huts along the coast, at sea, and on islands to ensure safety. Prepare forces and means for rescue when required.

On land, the National Civil Defense Steering Committee requires localities to organize tree pruning, bracing, and reinforcing houses. Prepare measures to ensure safety, limit damage to warehouses, headquarters, public works, industrial zones, mining areas, mineral exploitation, factories, power grid systems, and telecommunications. Have measures to quickly overcome traffic, electricity, and telecommunications incidents, ensuring operations are maintained in all situations, without interruption before, during, and after the storm.

“Localities need to organize the evacuation of households in dangerous areas to safe places. Have plans to support temporary accommodation, food, and necessities for people who have to evacuate, ensuring a stable life for people. Prepare forces, means, equipment, and necessities according to the “four on-site” motto to be ready to respond to all situations,” the National Civil Defense Steering Committee stated in the dispatch.

Localities are also assigned the task of urgently reviewing plans to ensure the safety of dike works under construction, key and vulnerable areas, and plans to protect dikes against storms and floods in the area according to the "4 on-site" motto.

Localities in the areas affected by storms and floods have plans and decisions to let students stay home from school and workers in industrial zones and businesses stay home from work during the storm. At the same time, they urgently mobilize forces to harvest agricultural production with the motto "green at home is better than ripe in the fields".

Restrict people from going out when the storm hits

Along with the above tasks, the National Steering Committee for Civil Defense also requested ministries, branches and localities to organize remote traffic diversion, limit people from going out on the streets during storms and heavy rains; be ready to deploy forces to guard and control people and vehicles in areas at risk of deep flooding and landslides; arrange forces, materials and vehicles to handle incidents, ensure smooth traffic on main traffic routes when heavy rains occur.

Check and review key works, unfinished works, small reservoirs that have been filled with water due to heavy rains in the area in recent times; direct reservoir owners and relevant agencies to urgently operate water discharge to reserve capacity to receive floods according to regulations, especially in key provinces where storms are expected to make landfall from Thanh Hoa to Ha Tinh; organize regular staff and be ready to regulate to ensure safety of works and downstream areas.

Prepare plans to ensure drainage and prevent flooding for agricultural production areas; deploy forces and means to drain buffer water, clear blockages and flood drainage, be ready to operate drainage systems for industrial parks, urban areas, and residential areas, and at the same time inform and guide people to raise furniture, prepare food and essential supplies to cope with storms and floods to minimize damage.

Ministries and branches, according to their functions, state management tasks and assigned tasks, proactively direct and coordinate with localities to respond to storms and floods...
