Quang Tri provincial authorities evacuated and relocated nearly 1,400 households with more than 4,100 people from vulnerable areas at high risk of flash floods, landslides and deep flooding.

On the afternoon of August 25, due to the impact of storm No. 5, some places in Quang Tri province had heavy rain.

It is known that currently in Quang Tri, there are 85 locations identified as being at risk of landslides, many vulnerable locations are at risk of flooding or are within the large area of ​​influence of storm No. 5.

People in low-lying areas at risk of flash floods and landslides were evacuated to safe places to prevent flooding caused by storm No. 5.

The Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Tri province has directed that departments, branches and localities must absolutely not be subjective or negligent in developing plans and completing evacuation plans to ensure absolute safety for people when necessary. To do this well, localities must identify and grasp the specific number of households and people who need to be evacuated; at the same time, arrange safe locations to receive people when bad situations occur.

The police force coordinated with the Border Guard to warn and block flooded culverts and streams to ensure people's safety.

To prevent the full effects of storm No. 5 causing flooding in low-lying areas, Quang Tri province has fully prepared essential reserves, including: 79,200 boxes of instant noodles, 12,900 boxes of dry food, 500 tons of rice, 21,000 boxes of bottled water, 245 tons of other essential goods; 22,000 m³ of gasoline and 20,850 m³ of diesel oil... to ensure meeting the needs of responding to and overcoming the consequences of storms and floods.
