Ensure smooth communication
In urgent dispatch No. 04/CD-BKHCN, the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) requested science and technology departments in the Northern region and along the coast from Quang Ninh to Dak Lak, units under the Ministry and telecommunications and postal enterprises to immediately deploy storm response work.
Units must strictly maintain leadership duty, disaster prevention duty and 24/7 information duty; at the same time closely monitor the developments of the tropical depression that has strengthened into a storm.
The Telecommunications Department is the focal point for receiving information, synthesizing the situation, and advising the ministry's leaders on timely direction plans.
Telecommunications companies are required to deploy appropriate response measures. The Central Post Office ensures mobile communications for Government delegations and the National Civil Defense Steering Committee to direct storm response when requested.

The Postal Department directed postal enterprises to review the postal mail system and develop plans to ensure postal information security to serve the direction and operation of storm response.
The Department of Science and Technology of provinces and cities is the focal point for directing postal and telecommunications enterprises in the area to coordinate and deploy timely response plans, meeting the communication needs of leaders of the People's Committee, the Provincial Civil Defense Command and local authorities to direct and operate storm response work.
Strengthen communications in key areas such as mines, mines, reservoirs and downstream areas, especially hydroelectric reservoirs, important irrigation reservoirs and areas that may be affected by natural disasters.
At the same time, identify areas that have lost communication due to the storm's impact to coordinate with the Department of Telecommunications to direct mobile telecommunications businesses to deploy roaming between networks to ensure smooth communication for command, operation, and storm response; inform the Department of Industry and Trade of areas with solid BTS stations that need priority for grid power to ensure maintenance of communication.
In addition, the Department of Industry and Trade is requested to direct petroleum supply enterprises to support and prioritize the supply of petroleum to telecommunications enterprises in the area to serve the operation of generators for BTS stations when the grid power is lost.
Focus on reinforcing station houses and mobile transmission stations
The Ministry of Science and Technology also requested telecommunications enterprises to focus on immediately implementing measures to ensure the safety of communication systems to serve the direction and operation of storm response, and to develop information rescue plans when incidents occur.
Focus on reinforcing station houses, antenna towers, mobile transceiver stations, transmission lines and peripheral networks that are likely to be affected by the storm. Provide backup equipment such as generators, generator fuel, and batteries for units in areas expected to be directly affected by the storm.
Be ready to send storm warning messages to subscribers in areas that may be affected as requested by the Ministry of Science and Technology; be ready to roam between mobile networks when requested by the Ministry of Science and Technology. Instruct people on how to set up their phones to automatically roam between mobile networks.
Provide a list of BTS stations that can withstand level 4 natural disaster risks to the Departments of Science and Technology to inform people to come and charge their phones; develop plans to mobilize human resources, vehicles, equipment, and spare materials to quickly restore the network after the storm (if any incidents occur); increase backup of microwave transmission lines to restore information as quickly as possible when fiber optic transmission lines have incidents.
Ensure safety for civil servants, public employees, and workers participating in natural disaster prevention. Provide labor safety equipment for officers and employees performing information rescue tasks, and ensure on-site communication.
Mobilize mobile BTS vehicles to areas at risk of losing communication
All major telecommunications companies such as VNPT, Viettel, and MobiFone are required to ensure the security of fixed, mobile, and Internet networks.
These units will deploy mobile BTS vehicles to areas at risk of losing communication, and use specialized vehicles that can operate in bad weather conditions to access the scene and transmit information and images to the control center.
Vietnam Post Corporation was assigned to review the mail system and develop a plan to ensure information for operations. Vietnam Maritime Electronic Information Company coordinated with the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting and the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment to broadcast storm forecasts and warn ships at sea to seek safe shelter.
The Ministry also requires strict maintenance of emergency information watchdog regime, especially for offshore fishing vessels, to ensure timely reception and forwarding of rescue information.
Satellite information service providers check communication equipment, are ready to provide services, inform subscribers to charge their phones, and check that their phones are ready for use.
