In addition, we need to prepare a place to welcome people around the affected area to take shelter. We must proactively prepare backup power systems, generators, etc. to ensure the systems at the factory. At the same time, we must be ready to contact the functional forces of Quang Ngai province and Van Tuong commune to promptly report and inform about the response to storm No. 13. In addition, the factory's operating team and related departments need to be ready on-site to promptly respond to problems if technical incidents occur due to natural disasters," emphasized Chairman of the Board of Directors Bui Ngoc Duong.
