Truong Sa Special Zone deploys response plan for storm Kalmaegi

Faced with the complicated and unpredictable developments of storm No. 13 (Kalmaegi) that is likely to directly affect the Truong Sa area, Truong Sa special administrative region has proactively and synchronously deployed plans to prevent, combat and respond to the storm, ensuring absolute safety for people, vehicles and weapons.

Units stationed on the islands have urgently reviewed and reinforced disaster prevention and control works; stocked up on materials, food, and fresh water; prepared safe shelters for fishermen and arranged forces on duty 24/7 to support and guide boats to anchor safely when the weather turns bad.

Up to now, more than 300 fishing boats with over 3,000 fishermen have been guided to take shelter from the storm on islands with ports such as Song Tu Tay, Sinh Ton, Truong Sa, Da Tay... The islands have provided over 20,000 liters of fresh water, many essential necessities and arranged temporary accommodation on the island for fishermen during the time affected by the storm. The forces regularly visit, encourage, help people stabilize their spirits, feel secure to take shelter, and together overcome the storm safely.

On the islands, officers, soldiers and forces are closely coordinating with the people, reinforcing houses, tying down vehicles, moving people and property to safe places. Units strictly maintain duty regime, regularly update and issue notices on weather and storm conditions; at the same time, increase support for fishermen by providing food, fresh water, medical care, ensuring a stable life in conditions where storms may last. Rescue forces and vehicles are always ready to mobilize in case of emergency, not to be passive or surprised.

Officers and soldiers of Song Tu Tay island presented national flags to fishing boats entering Song Tu Tay port to take shelter from storm No. 13 (Kalmaegi).

Along with that, Truong Sa Special Zone coordinated with the Border Guard on the islands to unify response plans, promptly calling on ships to take shelter in safe places. The initiative, responsibility and high determination of officers and soldiers on the islands have contributed significantly to ensuring the safety of lives and property of people and fishermen, maintaining peace in the stormy places of the Fatherland.
