For localities in the plains and mountainous areas, review and prepare plans to evacuate people from unsafe houses, areas at risk of deep flooding, river mouths, and coastal areas. Proactively drain buffer water, prevent flooding to protect agricultural production and industrial zones at risk of flooding; proactively organize the harvest of agricultural products such as the winter-spring rice crop and the Summer-Autumn rice crop in 2025 according to the motto "green house is better than ripe field".
