Continue to closely monitor the situation, seriously, promptly and effectively carry out disaster prevention, control and rescue work according to the "4 on-site" motto with the most proactive, timely and drastic spirit, suitable to local realities, ensuring the safety of people's lives above all. Absolutely do not be negligent, subjective, lose vigilance, and do not allow interruptions in directing response to natural disasters when restructuring administrative units and organizing local governments at 2 levels.

Urgently review and develop plans to reorganize forces, consolidate means, materials, and equipment to perform tasks of natural disaster prevention, control, search and rescue, ensuring smooth, effective, and efficient operations from July 1, 2025 (after the district level finishes its operations). Review and complete response plans for each type of natural disaster that may occur, ensuring that they are appropriate to the specific situation of the locality and the operations of local authorities at two levels.

At the same time, review and identify dangerous areas, especially mountain slopes at risk of landslides, rock falls and areas with warning signs of riverbank landslides. Organize grassroots forces and disaster prevention shock forces to patrol and inspect production sub-areas, dykes, embankments and culverts during the rainy season, to detect early and have timely handling directions.
