Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien has just issued Official Dispatch 4188/CD-PCTT on proactively responding to tropical depression/storm No. 01 in the East Sea.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on the afternoon of June 10, the tropical depression was at about 15.3 degrees North latitude; 114.8 degrees East longitude, about 360km East Southeast of Hoang Sa archipelago. The strongest wind near the center of the tropical depression was level 6-7 (39-61km/h), gusting to level 9; moving slowly in the West Northwest direction at a speed of about 5km/h.
It is forecasted that in the next 24 hours, the tropical depression will move in the West-Northwest direction and then possibly strengthen into a storm (storm No. 01); after strengthening, storm No. 01 will continue to move in the West-Northwest direction and strengthen, possibly causing heavy rain in the Central provinces.
Pursuant to Official Dispatch No. 86/CD-TTg dated June 10, 2025 of the Prime Minister , to proactively respond to the complicated developments of tropical depression/storm No. 01, and to continue to strictly implement Official Dispatch No. 4152/CD-BCT, the Minister of Industry and Trade requests units under the Ministry and units in the Industry and Trade sector to focus on and strengthen the work of on-duty disaster prevention, closely monitor the developments of tropical depression/storm No. 01 from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting to promptly deploy measures to respond to natural disasters caused by tropical depression/storm No. 01.
Strengthen the review and inspection of key and vulnerable works and areas, be ready to respond to the developments of tropical depression/storm No. 01, and ensure the highest level of safety for people and property.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade requests the Departments of Industry and Trade of provinces and centrally run cities to strengthen inspections and ensure the safety of mineral exploration and exploitation activities and power grid systems in the area. Mining facilities need to take measures to prevent landslides and flooding at mines, inspect tailings ponds and deep mine tunnels. At the same time, direct industrial and commercial production facilities in areas at risk of flash floods, landslides, and key works or under construction to develop response plans, ensure safety for people and equipment, and prepare resources and materials in case of emergency.
Hydropower dam owners must strictly follow reservoir operation procedures, increase dam safety inspections, especially for small, vulnerable or under-repair projects; promptly post warning signs at landslide-prone areas, coordinate with local authorities to provide timely information, and ensure safety when releasing floodwaters.
The Department of Industry and Trade of provinces and centrally-run cities are also required to review areas at risk of being cut off and isolated by storms, and prepare plans to stockpile essential goods such as food, drinking water, and necessities to serve the people.
Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) is assigned to direct local power units and hydropower dam owners under its management to prepare sufficient human resources, materials, and means according to the "4 on-site" principle to respond to tropical depression/storm No. 01. At the same time, strengthen inspection and self-inspection of power grids and dams to ensure stable power supply, especially for important loads, and be ready to restore power as quickly as possible in areas where incidents occur.
EVN must also direct its subordinate hydropower operation management units to strictly implement the requirements in the Official Dispatch. In addition, coordinate with the Department of Industry and Trade to inspect and direct the implementation of measures to ensure dam safety, especially at key projects under construction or repair, to ensure safe reservoir operation.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade requests the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group (PVN) to promptly notify ships and offshore oil and gas projects in the area affected by tropical depression/storm No. 01 to deploy measures to ensure safety for people, property and projects. At the same time, PVN must direct its affiliated units to prepare resources, means and materials to promptly respond to possible situations.
The National Power System and Electricity Market Operation Company is assigned to develop a method of operating the national power system, reasonably mobilizing power sources to ensure safe and continuous operation, meeting the electricity demand for economic development and people's daily life.
The unit needs to coordinate closely with hydropower reservoir operators to update hydrological and flood situations, and implement regulation in accordance with procedures and instructions from competent authorities. At the same time, coordinate with relevant parties to optimize the operation of the plant and power grid, and limit incidents of the power system and generators.
Hydropower dam owners must strictly comply with approved reservoir and inter-reservoir operating procedures, organize strict on-duty shifts, and closely monitor weather and flood conditions. At the same time, increase notifications and warnings to ensure the safety of people and activities in downstream areas before regulating or releasing water for power generation.
Reservoir operations must proactively ensure flood-receiving capacity according to regulations, avoiding sudden and abnormal flows that threaten the lives and property of people in the riverside areas downstream of the reservoir. Dam owners are responsible for promptly informing the authorities and people in the downstream areas about the reservoir regulation and operation plan.
Other Groups and Corporations in the Industry and Trade sector closely monitor the developments of tropical depression/storm No. 01 from the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting to promptly direct disaster prevention work at facilities under their management, ensuring safety for people and key works.
The Ministry of Industry and Trade requests that units under the Ministry and units in the Industry and Trade sector strictly implement this Official Dispatch, prepare forces, equipment, means and materials to promptly respond to natural disaster situations; closely coordinate with authorities at all levels in disaster response and participate in rescue when requested. Organize 24/24h duty, regularly report information to the Standing Office of PCTT&TKCN of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
