According to the forecast bulletin of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from the evening of December 3 to the end of the night of December 4, the area from the South of Quang Tri province to Da Nang city and the East of Quang Ngai province will have moderate to heavy rain with common rainfall from 70-150mm, locally very heavy rain over 250mm; warning of the risk of heavy rain over 100mm/3 hours.

The National Steering Committee for Civil Defense requested the People's Committees of provinces and cities to closely monitor the forecast and warning bulletins of heavy rain, floods, inundation, flash floods, and landslides and provide timely and complete information to local authorities and people to proactively prevent them. Provinces and cities deploy shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, low-lying areas, and areas at risk of floods, inundation, flash floods, and landslides to proactively clear the flow of blocked and obstructed areas; proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people to safe places and have plans to support food and necessities for people at evacuation sites.

Arrange forces to guard and control people and vehicles in areas at risk of deep flooding and landslides; arrange forces, materials and vehicles to fix incidents and ensure smooth traffic on main traffic routes when heavy rain occurs. Check, review and deploy measures to ensure the safety of key works, works under construction, small reservoirs that are full of water, mines and mineral exploitation areas; proactively operate reservoir discharge to prioritize flood reduction capacity for downstream areas; arrange permanent forces to be ready to handle possible situations.

Proactively take measures to drain water to prevent flooding and protect production, industrial parks, urban areas, and residential areas. Prepare forces, vehicles, equipment, and necessities according to the "four on-the-spot" principle to be ready to respond to all situations, especially in areas at risk of being isolated.
