Accordingly, in its warning to schools, the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training pointed out the current complicated weather conditions in the city and neighboring provinces and cities, posing a risk of high tides, floods, flash floods, landslides, strong winds, tornadoes, high waves, unusual whirlpools, etc., which could affect the safety of organizing extracurricular educational activities for students and teachers.

Therefore, the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City requires schools to strengthen the work of ensuring safety for students, staff, teachers and employees during the organization of extracurricular educational activities, in the spirit of flexibility, suitable to the actual conditions of each unit.

At the same time, it is recommended to review all plans for organizing extracurricular activities at the unit that have been and are planned to be implemented during the period of extreme weather. Based on weather forecasts and local flood situations, the time, content, location, and organization form should be considered to be adjusted appropriately, both to ensure the safety of students and to create conditions for maintaining practical and effective extracurricular activities.

Note to have a plan to ensure safety for students when receiving information and warnings from professional agencies about prolonged heavy rain, tornadoes, flash floods, landslides, deep flooding on the route or at the venue; promptly organize the evacuation of students and teachers to a safe place according to the motto "safety first".

Consider adjusting the time, shortening the program or switching to a safer school or location when weather conditions are unfavorable.

Departing trips at night is not recommended; in special cases, there must be a safety plan, and management and supervision forces must be assigned.

According to the request of the Department of Education and Training, schools proactively develop alternative plans (change schedule, change location, change organization form, etc.) if the weather situation develops abnormally, posing a risk of safety. Principals consider and decide to adjust, shorten the program or postpone activities on the basis of ensuring student safety, while minimizing unnecessary disruption and interruption to the school's educational plan. Do not let pressure on progress and costs affect professional decisions related to safety.
