Accordingly, Dak Lak focuses on responding to natural disasters with the motto of "proactively early, from afar" with the most drastic spirit, implementing prevention, avoidance and response measures at the highest level to ensure absolute safety for people's lives, limit damage to people's and State's property, and avoid being passive and surprised. The People's Committee requests communes and wards to immediately deploy necessary tasks and measures according to the motto of "four on-the-spot", placing the task of saving people as urgent and above all.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested communes and wards to mobilize local forces by all means to immediately approach and handle emergency situations, isolated residential areas due to floods and landslides to promptly support people, provide relief with food, necessities for people and evacuate necessary cases to ensure people's safety.

Authorities at all levels must inspect, detect, warn and proactively organize evacuation and relocation of all people from dangerous areas, especially those at high risk of deep flooding, landslides and flash floods. In the management area, communes and wards must arrange forces to block and control traffic, not allowing people to pass through dangerous areas, especially on traffic routes at risk of landslides, deep flooding, fast flowing water, etc.

Dak Lak requested the provincial armed forces to direct units under their authority to mobilize maximum forces, means, supplies, and equipment to coordinate with other forces to support and help the people; contact central units stationed in the province to promptly support the province...
