Truong Sa Special Zone proactively deploys measures to respond to tropical depression in early December

In early December, faced with the complicated developments of the tropical depression forming in the East Sea, the islands and island points in Truong Sa Special Zone (Khanh Hoa province) proactively and synchronously deployed many response measures, ensuring absolute safety for officers, soldiers and people living and working on the islands.

Officers and soldiers of Da Tay A Island advise fishermen to enter the harbor to take shelter from low pressure.

According to information from the Command of Brigade 146 (Naval Region 4), as soon as they received the forecast of the possibility of low pressure intensifying and causing strong winds and thunderstorms in the area, the islands quickly activated the notification system, reviewed disaster prevention plans, checked the ship mooring system, warehouses, and barracks; organized reinforcement of key locations, and ensured smooth communication.

Soldiers on Sinh Ton Island cut and prune tree branches to ensure safety and prevent low pressure.

On islands such as Truong Sa, Song Tu Tay, Son Ca, and Nam Yet, combat readiness forces were increased; logistics and technical departments focused on checking power and water sources and spare supplies. Officers and soldiers assisted islanders in securing their houses and collecting items that could be easily blown away by the wind.

Regarding fishing activities of fishermen, the islands have increased loudspeaker announcements, advising fishing vessels operating near the Truong Sa Special Economic Zone to move to safe waters; guiding vessels to take shelter in the harbor when necessary. The military medical system of the islands has prepared a stock of emergency medicine, ready to support fishermen if an incident occurs in bad weather.

Chairman of the People's Committee of Truong Sa Special Zone Pham Thanh Liem emphasized: "The islands always adhere to the motto of not being passive or surprised by any weather developments. The guiding spirit is to be proactive early, prepare from afar, deploy promptly and follow the correct procedures; ensure absolute safety for soldiers and people on the island, and at the same time create a solid support for fishermen to confidently go to sea in complex weather conditions."
