The document requires proactively and urgently implementing effective response plans for storm No. 13 according to the motto "4 on-site" and "proactive early, from afar", with a resolute spirit, anticipating the worst situations, implementing prevention, avoidance and response measures at the highest level.

Strengthen direction, supervision and inspection of the implementation of measures to prevent, combat and respond to storms and floods; promote information and warning activities on media, social networks, Hue-S platform, etc. Direct the implementation of measures to ensure dam safety, organize safe and effective operation of irrigation and hydroelectric reservoirs.

Mobilize all forces to guide and support people's houses, headquarters, warehouses, production, business and service establishments. Urgently contact ships operating at sea to call for storm shelters; guide ships to anchor and moor properly, ensuring the safety of fishermen's property.

The City Party Committee directs the City People's Committee to lead the Hue City Civil Defense Command, localities, agencies and relevant units to effectively implement the Central and City Party Committee's directives on proactive natural disaster prevention and control. The head of the Party Committee is directly responsible for directing, operating, responding to and overcoming the consequences of natural disasters in the assigned area.

Organize 24/7 duty, closely monitor the developments of storms and floods; strictly implement the information and reporting regime; Party Committees of communes and wards promptly report the situation and developments of storms and floods to the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee before 3:00 p.m. every day.

According to the forecast of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from November 6, storm No. 13 (international name Kalmaegi) will directly affect the sea and mainland of the Central and South Central regions, including Hue City.

Recently, the city has been continuously affected by three heavy rains and floods, causing water levels in reservoirs and hydroelectric lakes to rise, flooding downstream areas, and saturated soil moisture... the risk of "double natural disasters" of storms on top of floods is very high and continues to cause widespread flooding and landslides.
