In some deeply flooded areas of Hoi An ward, Dien Ban district, Lieutenant General Le Ngoc Hai inquired about the living conditions of the people; at the same time, he requested the City Military Command to coordinate closely with other forces, organize a 24/7 standing force at critical points; deploy mobile rescue vehicles, and be ready to promptly evacuate and assist people when needed.

Lieutenant General Le Ngoc Hai emphasized that the highest priority in flood response efforts must be ensuring the safety of people's lives and property. Main units and militia forces need to stay close to their assigned areas, maintain uninterrupted communication, and review areas at risk of landslides or prolonged deep flooding.

Officers and soldiers of the city's armed forces must uphold a high sense of responsibility, overcome difficulties, and become a pillar of support so that the people can confidently weather the floods.
