Faced with the complicated movement of storm No. 15, which is at risk of affecting the South Central region, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep signed an official dispatch to the People's Committees of 6 provinces and cities from Da Nang to Lam Dong, requesting urgent implementation of measures to ensure safety for the dike system in the context that the storm may directly affect the area that has just experienced heavy rains and floods, easily causing landslides on dike routes and increasing the risk of unsafe constructions due to heavy rain from the storm's circulation.
In the dispatch, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requested localities to strictly implement the direction in Official Dispatch No. 231/CD-TTg dated November 26, 2025 of the Prime Minister, closely monitor storm developments and dike situation, inspect and immediately deploy dike protection plans at key locations, and at the same time fully prepare forces, materials and means according to the 4 on-site motto. Localities must promptly report any dike incidents so that the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment can promptly coordinate and direct handling.
On the afternoon of November 28, the National Civil Defense Steering Committee also issued a telegram to the People's Committees of provinces and cities from Da Nang to An Giang and relevant ministries and branches on proactively responding to the tropical depression that is moving up in the South East Sea.
In the dispatch, the Steering Committee requested the above localities to strictly manage the means of transport going out to sea; organize the counting and notify the owners of the means of transport, captains of ships and boats operating at sea of the location, direction of movement and developments of the tropical depression so that they can proactively avoid, escape or not move into the dangerous area.
