Strengthening disaster prevention, response and mitigation

Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Do Tam Hien has just issued a document directing the People's Committees of communes, wards and Ly Son special zone to closely monitor forecast information and developments of storms, rains and floods, promptly direct and deploy response work according to the "four on-site" motto according to assigned tasks and authority, not to be passive or surprised to ensure safety of life and minimize property damage for people.

Check, review, and identify dangerous areas, especially steep slopes at risk of landslides, flash floods, and deep flooded areas along rivers and streams to proactively organize the evacuation of people and property from dangerous areas. For places where there are no conditions for immediate evacuation, there must be a proactive evacuation plan in case of natural disasters to ensure the safety of people's lives.

Strengthen information, propaganda and guidance for people on natural disaster situations and measures to prevent and combat natural disasters in order to proactively respond. Check and review to ensure communication, especially the grassroots loudspeaker system.

Check and proactively take measures to ensure the safety of reservoirs and downstream areas; arrange permanent forces ready to operate, regulate and handle situations. Control and guide safe traffic, especially through culverts, spillways, deep flooded areas, and fast-flowing water; proactively arrange forces, materials and means to overcome incidents, ensuring smooth traffic on main traffic routes.

Prepare forces and means to promptly rescue and quickly overcome the consequences of storms and floods if they occur in your agency, unit or locality. Check and evaluate all bridge works in the area under your management responsibility (especially river crossing bridges and temporary bridges) to promptly detect and have immediate solutions to handle works at risk of being unsafe.
