On July 21, it was not difficult to see trucks and containers parked in front of many seafood businesses located along Hoang Quoc Viet Street, Bai Chay Ward, Quang Ninh Province.
The owner of Dong Duong Cai Dam seafood wholesaler said he decided to spend more than 50 million VND/day to rent 9 large containers to block the glass door of his store.
Containers are stacked close together to block gusts of wind when a storm hits. On the roof, heavy sandbags and foam boxes filled with water are used for additional reinforcement.
The use of trucks and containers is a result of lessons learned from the 2024 super typhoon Yagi that devastated many stores.
A hotel on Hoang Quoc Viet Street, Bai Chay Ward, reinforced its entrance before storm Wipha made landfall.
Marina Hotel reinforced glass doors with dozens of sandbags stacked in front of the door.
The roofs of many businesses are lined with sandbags to minimize the effects of storms.
In Bai Chay ward, Quang Ninh province, on July 21, there was heavy rain and light gusts of wind. The streets were deserted, and most restaurants and hotels were closed.
