Before that, proactively responding to storm No. 3, the Ward's Disaster Prevention Command quickly deployed prevention and control plans. Neighborhood groups, militia, youth unions and social organizations divided into many groups to help households reinforce roofs, reinforce houses, especially temporary and dilapidated houses, to prevent the impact of the complicated developments of storm No. 3.

Households living in temporary houses, degraded houses, and houses at high risk of insecurity have been mobilized to move to safe locations such as schools, cultural houses, or ward People's Committee offices. Tuong Mai Ward has also developed scenarios for using solid schools, ward cultural houses, and residential group offices as evacuation centers in case of flooding caused by storms or the risk of house collapse in old residential areas and temporary houses. Along with that, medical facilities are also ready to support health care, distribute medicine, and provide necessities to evacuees.

To ensure drainage and solve drainage problems for storm No. 3, Tuong Mai ward has proactively coordinated with Drainage Enterprise No. 3 to handle the diversion sewer of the project to build the road from 2.5 to Hoang Van Thu ward. Currently, the water level of Hoang Van Thu canal has dropped by about 20cm - 30cm, draining well into the project's box culvert.

The Ward People's Committee has established a Forward Command Center to directly direct and coordinate storm response work.
