The official dispatch of the Department of Education and Training of Ho Chi Minh City stated that currently in the rainy and stormy season, there are many strong storms with complex developments and the possibility of affecting the Ho Chi Minh City area. Heavy rain caused by storms poses a very high risk of flash floods, landslides and widespread flooding, especially in areas with steep terrain and weak soil.

To proactively respond, minimize damage and ensure safety for students, teachers, staff, workers, etc., the Department of Education and Training requires schools to closely monitor the development of storms and rains, maintain regular contact with authorities and local rescue forces to promptly respond in case of incidents.

Schools should proactively prepare online learning plans and plans to postpone classes during complicated stormy days (if any).

The Department requires schools to urgently develop plans to repair and reinforce structures at risk of being unsafe, coordinate with specialized units to trim trees inside schools, and check drainage systems and power grids to ensure the safety of students, teachers and administrators before storms and floods occur.

At the same time, prepare plans to evacuate students and teachers to safe places; move documents and equipment to safe locations before storms and floods. Actively coordinate with local authorities to receive professional support, materials and equipment when situations arise.
