Faced with the complicated developments of floods and rains, Nghe An province requests departments, branches, and localities to:

Check, review, and prepare plans to ensure the safety of dike and dam systems, especially works under construction or damaged or degraded.

Proactively develop plans for safe operation of dams, especially weak and full dams; promptly arrange forces, materials, and means to conduct rescue and overcome incidents of dikes, dams, and landslides.

Strictly manage and guide traffic at ferry terminals, flooded and eroded culverts and spillways; set up markers, assign guards, close roads, and divert traffic... to ensure safety.

In addition, people are strictly prohibited from collecting firewood, fishing... on rivers, streams, and downstream of dams during floods to avoid human casualties.

Absolutely do not let people have subjective thoughts before, during and after floods. Pay special attention and monitor children living in affected areas.

At the same time, immediately check and review residential areas, agency headquarters, workplaces, and unit stations, resolutely evacuate people, vehicles, and assets from dangerous areas, especially areas at risk of landslides, flash floods, and inundation to ensure the safety of people's lives and property and the State.
