Therefore, he requested ministries, branches and localities to absolutely not be subjective; focus on responding according to the Prime Minister's direction with a spirit of urgency, determination, proactive prevention and response at the highest level, anticipating the worst situations.
In particular, it is necessary to organize a count and notify owners of vehicles and captains of ships and boats operating at sea of the location, direction of movement and developments of the storm so that they can proactively avoid, escape, not move into dangerous areas or return to safe shelters.
"The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment and localities must urgently demarcate vulnerable areas and places vulnerable to high tides to accurately assess risks and come up with timely and effective response measures to storm No. 12, ensuring maximum safety for people and property," Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha requested.
