On the afternoon of November 27th, reporters from SGGP newspaper observed that in the coastal area, along the Thi Nai lagoon and Quy Nhon port ( Gia Lai province), many fishing boats had been towed and anchored in sheltered areas and mangrove forests to avoid the storm.
At Quy Nhon port, the Gia Lai Provincial Border Guard mobilized two vessels along with officers and soldiers to disseminate information and encourage fishermen to proactively respond to the storm. Border Guard officers and soldiers went directly to each boat, raft, and fish cage, urging fishermen to quickly prepare for the storm and not to be complacent or negligent.
On Nhon Chau Island, Mr. Duong Hiep Hung, Chairman of the People's Committee of the commune, said that after suffering heavy damage from typhoon No. 13, the people on the island had proactively prepared for typhoon No. 15.
Over the past two days, all boats on the island have been moved to the mainland in Gia Lai and Dak Lak provinces for shelter; fishing boats have also been carried to higher ground. Typhoon No. 13 damaged 242 houses; to date, the local authorities have repaired 236 houses, and the remaining ones are awaiting materials from the mainland.
"We prioritize restoring telecommunications to promptly inform the public, while also mobilizing military, border guard, and local forces to reinforce houses," Mr. Hung said.
On November 27th, the People's Committee of Gia Lai province declared a state of emergency due to natural disasters in 77 communes and wards (mainly in the eastern area).
The province has put forward three groups of emergency solutions: mobilizing all rescue forces and resources; protecting the lives and health of the people; urgently assessing, repairing, and restoring essential infrastructure such as transportation, irrigation, electricity, telecommunications, healthcare, and schools; and simultaneously arranging safe temporary housing and ensuring minimum living conditions for people who have lost their homes.
Tighten control over seaports, urge fishermen to proactively prepare for storms.
On November 27th, the Gia Lai Provincial Border Guard Command directed border guard stations to coordinate with local authorities to inform ships and boats about the trajectory of Typhoon No. 15, advising them to avoid dangerous areas; simultaneously, they reviewed and counted vessels. The unit urged 5,450 vessels with over 39,138 fishermen to move to safe anchorage areas. During the day, 253 vessels with 1,574 fishermen remained at sea; all had received the notification and moved to avoid the typhoon.
Given the complex developments of the storm, the Provincial Border Guard Command has instructed its units to closely monitor the situation, manage vessels going out to sea, count ships in the affected area, and notify ship owners and captains (including transport and tourist vessels) to proactively take preventive measures.
Border guards maintain 25 teams with 238 officers and soldiers to support people in responding to and overcoming the consequences of floods and heavy rains; ensuring uninterrupted communication 24/7 to promptly handle any situations.
