That is the direction of Mr. Pham Anh Tuan - Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee - to localities in this province this afternoon in the face of the risk of heavy rain caused by storm No. 13 (Kalmaegi).
In addition to dealing with the very strong storm winds, Mr. Tuan is concerned that many areas of Gia Lai province will be severely flooded by rain caused by the storm circulation. Therefore, he requested to increase the flood level to urgently calculate the evacuation of people because there is very little time left, and a big storm occurring at night cannot be handled in time.
Along with that, Mr. Tuan directed that for evacuation locations to avoid storms, if the house is solid but in a low-lying area, easily flooded by floodwaters or high tides, or where landslides are forecasted, then both the homeowner and the roommate must be resolutely evacuated to a safe place.
For areas that are easily cut off from roads in mountainous areas, Mr. Tuan requested that the amount of food and provisions to be provided to the people must be increased immediately because the time of cut off may be prolonged and supplies cannot be provided.
"We must proactively rely on reality to handle the situation, ensuring that there is no human loss in this extremely large storm" - Chairman of Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee suggested.

On November 6, Ms. Cao Thi Hoa An - Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairwoman of the People's Council of Dak Lak province - and the working delegation inspected the landslide situation of Bach Dang embankment, Tuy Hoa market (Tuy Hoa ward).
Accordingly, after a long time of use, Bach Dang embankment has degraded, being hit by waves causing many places to erode and create deep holes. However, until now, it has not been implemented. At the scene, the embankment has eroded for dozens of meters, many places have been hit by big waves due to the impact of storms, causing the eroded area to eat deep into the traffic road. Although the locality has a corrugated iron fence, the erosion is still expanding.
The Chairman of the People's Council of Dak Lak province directed the local authorities and relevant units to carry out reinforcement to avoid further landslides because the storm will cause waves and high tides. Do not allow vehicles to pass through, ensuring the safety of life and property of people living along the embankment. At the same time, the local authorities must report on the repair work at the upcoming meeting of voters of the People's Council.

According to the People's Committee of Dak Lak province, in the eastern part of the province (formerly Phu Yen province), there are two seriously damaged embankment works: Bach Dang embankment (3.546km long) and the southern embankment of Da Rang river (about 2km long), with a total repair capital need of about 250 billion VND.
The province proposed that the Central Government continue to allocate priority funding to repair and upgrade damaged works, especially large reservoirs, to ensure the safety of works and protect the lives and property of people in downstream areas during the flood season.
At Tuy Hoa market, the Chairman of the Dak Lak Provincial People's Council requested the Market Management Board to ensure the property of small traders, instruct them to place their goods on high places or move them to storage. At the same time, they must regularly check and have plans to prevent low-lying areas that are prone to flooding at Tuy Hoa market.
Also in Tuy Hoa ward, by the morning of November 6, the construction contractor had lowered the height of the construction cranes and turned them inside the construction site to ensure that they did not affect surrounding roads and households.

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting at 12:00 on November 7, the center of storm Kalmaegi was about 220km east-southeast of Quy Nhon (Gia Lai). The strongest wind near the center of the storm was level 15 (167-183km/h), gusting to level 17. It is forecasted that in the next 3 hours, the storm will move mainly westward at a speed of about 25km/h.
This afternoon, Mr. Mai Van Khiem, director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that storm Kalmaegi is likely to maintain its strongest intensity of level 15 in the next 4 to 6 hours.
When the western circulation of the storm collides with the mainland, the friction can reduce the storm's intensity by 1-2 levels. "Thus, when making landfall around this evening to tonight, the storm's winds on land are forecast to be around level 11-13, gusting to level 15-16. This is a very strong intensity.
Especially the dangerous areas from the east of Quang Ngai and Gia Lai provinces, north of Dak Lak can be subject to very strong winds, accompanied by very high waves in coastal areas and very heavy rain from this afternoon until tomorrow morning. This is an extremely high risk, flash floods, landslides in the mountainous areas west of these provinces" - Mr. Khiem added.
With the forecast that the storm will move faster and maintain its strong intensity when it makes landfall, the National Steering Committee for Civil Defense requested the provinces and cities of Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, and Khanh Hoa to respond to the storm earlier and more decisively.
The western region of Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, and Dak Lak provinces (the former Central Highlands region) focuses on directing storm response measures, ensuring safety for people and infrastructure, and avoiding being passive or surprised.

On the morning of November 6, the People's Committee of Nam Nha Trang ward coordinated with functional forces to evacuate people in Thanh Dat and Thanh Phat residential groups to shelters before Kalmaegi made landfall.
On the small road leading up the mountainside, each house was locked and temporarily supported to ensure safety. The loudspeakers continuously blared, reminding people to leave the area at high risk of landslides.
Evacuated to a safe place by authorities , Mrs. Ngo Thi Ty (80 years old) still clearly remembers the landslide 7 years ago.
Mrs. Ty said that at that time her house collapsed and was swept away by the pile of rolling rocks and soil. Luckily, her family members had reached a safe shelter and were able to save their lives.
"I can't sleep when it rains heavily. Whenever I hear about a storm, I pack up and leave. That year, rocks and soil collapsed and destroyed my house, so this time I don't want to lose anything else," said Mrs. Ty.
Packing her belongings to evacuate her son, Ms. Nguyen Hoai Thuong (Thanh Phat residential group) said she had heard about the storm for several days so she was very scared. The local authorities had urged her to quickly pack her belongings to go to a safe shelter.
Ms. Thuong said that during the landslide in 2018, her husband was worried about the house so he did not evacuate and was swept away by rocks and soil from the mountain. Luckily, he was rescued in time.
"This year, my whole family evacuated, no one is home. Although we are afraid that landslides may affect our houses, life still comes first. I hope the storm will pass so that our people will suffer less," Ms. Thuong shared.
Currently, many residents in these two residential groups are still living in temporary houses, dilapidated houses located precariously on slopes and in locations with high risk of landslides every time there is prolonged heavy rain.

Mr. Nguyen Van Minh - Chairman of the People's Committee of Nam Nha Trang Ward - said that by 10:30 today, the locality had evacuated more than 200 households with more than 700 people in the above areas to safety before storm Kalmaegi made landfall. According to Mr. Minh, these are two densely populated residential areas with complex hilly terrain, located on the mountainside where a serious landslide occurred in 2018, killing many people, so they were given priority for early evacuation to ensure people's safety.
Authorities are trying to mobilize people to evacuate. By 3:00 p.m. this afternoon, 100% of the people living in this area must be evacuated.

In cases of slow movement to a safe point, the ward will take coercive measures to ensure that no one stays on the dangerous mountainside area.
According to Khanh Hoa Province Hydrometeorological Station, it is forecasted that from November 6 to 7, Khanh Hoa will have heavy to very heavy rain, with total rainfall in the northern part of the province reaching over 250mm/period in some places.
This leads to the risk of floods, inundation, flash floods and landslides that adversely affect the environment, threaten people's lives, cause local traffic congestion, and affect economic activities and people's lives.
