On the morning of November 5, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep and Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Tam Hien chaired the Quang Ngai bridge to attend the national online conference focusing on responding to storm No. 13, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha.

Vice Chairman of Quang Ngai Provincial People's Committee Do Tam Hien spoke at the meeting.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha noted that storm No. 13 moves quickly and is very strong, while many localities have not yet overcome the consequences of storm No. 12. Therefore, the response level this time must be higher and more urgent. The Deputy Prime Minister requested localities in the affected area to immediately update their response plans, calling on 100% of boats to come ashore, not leaving any people at sea. The evacuation of people from dangerous areas must be completed before 7:00 p.m. on November 6, and the scope can be expanded if necessary. Military Region 4 and Military Region 5 forces coordinate with localities, prepare means and human resources for rescue, and not be passive when landslides and floods occur. Localities need to increase food and medicine reserves, and ensure smooth communication. They must be proactive early, from afar, and determined to respond safely and effectively to storm No. 13.
