According to the Director of the Department of Dyke Management for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, by the morning of September 8, the storm had moved further inland, and the Hanoi area continued to be affected by heavy rain. "With this level of storm, the affected area is very large, the center of the storm is in Quang Ninh, but the storm winds in Hanoi can be felt very strongly," said Mr. Luan.

Do not let people return to the boat

In the face of storm No. 3, Mr. Pham Duc Luan requested that localities resolutely not allow people to return to fishing boats, cages, rafts, and watchtowers when the storm makes landfall. At the same time, ensure security and safety for evacuation areas, as well as places where boats, cages, and rafts are moored.

“We advise people not to go out when the storm hits, as it could affect their health and lives. From now until 8 p.m., people in the capital should not go out,” the Director of the Department of Dyke Management for Disaster Prevention and Control advised.

For the northern mountainous region, Mr. Pham Duc Luan suggested deploying shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, low-lying areas, and areas at high risk of flooding, flash floods, and landslides to proactively evacuate people to safety.

Organize forces to guard and control traffic at culverts, spillways, deeply flooded areas, and areas at risk of landslides; arrange forces, prepare materials and means to overcome incidents and clear traffic routes.

Check and prepare plans to ensure safety of reservoirs and downstream areas, especially small hydroelectric reservoirs, important reservoirs, and those that are full of water; arrange permanent forces to be ready to operate, regulate, and handle situations.

In addition, the Director of the Department of Dyke Management for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control also requested functional forces to deploy work to ensure safety for mines and mineral exploitation areas, especially in Quang Ninh province.
