Accordingly, the Chairman of the Da Nang City People's Committee requested all departments, agencies, localities, and functional forces throughout the city to proactively monitor the storm's developments and proactively implement disaster prevention and control measures according to their assigned functions and duties. Particular attention should be paid to high-risk areas such as tourist destinations, aquaculture areas, coastal structures, hilly and mountainous regions, and mining areas.

The City Military Command directed the Border Guard Command to promptly inform ships operating at sea, especially in the Hoang Sa and Gulf of Tonkin areas, about the storm's location and direction, so they can proactively take precautions or seek safe shelter ashore. At the same time, relevant units must ensure uninterrupted communication, count ships, and regularly report to the Da Nang City Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue and Civil Defense Command. Based on the developments of Typhoon No. 3, they should proactively decide on prohibiting fishing vessels, transport ships, and tourist boats from sailing.
