At sea-line units, maintain 100% of the required number of personnel, ensure adequate forces, means and materials as prescribed, be ready to perform tasks when necessary, proactively respond to storms according to the 4-on-the-spot principle; regularly monitor and grasp the direction of the storm, notify ship and boat owners and workers at sea to avoid the storm's dangerous areas to safe shelters. Review and grasp vulnerable areas at risk of high tides, flooding, flash floods, landslides and tornadoes; promptly advise local staff and forces to organize reinforcement, bracing and have plans to ensure safety for people in areas at risk of storms and post-storm circulation. Grasp the number of ships and boats at sea, cages and rafts for aquaculture; guide arrangements to ensure absolute safety, do not handle fishing boats going to sea and the number of workers on cages and rafts for aquaculture when the storm makes landfall in the area.

In addition, direct units to firmly grasp the system of border lines, landmarks, lakes and dams in the area that are at risk of being unsafe due to the impact of storms. Do a good job of bracing and shoring up houses and warehouses, trimming trees, ensuring smooth communication to be ready to support rescue and handle emergency situations; organize mobile propaganda throughout the area so that people can grasp information about the storm situation, thereby having timely preventive measures, in order to proactively protect people's lives and property.
