Provincial People's Committee held a meeting to respond to storm and flood situations.

Communes also proactively let students stay home from school when there is a risk of being affected; localities are required to consider ensuring the safety of students and teachers as the top priority. The electricity sector needs to proactively come up with rescue plans, overcome difficulties, restore power supply as soon as possible, and ensure absolute safety in operations when floodwaters rise. Authorities focus on supporting the search for missing victims and helping people overcome the consequences.

Communes must compile all proposals and recommendations to send to the Provincial People's Committee for timely advice and support. At the same time, they must regularly encourage and visit affected families; strictly implement the "4 on-site" motto; proactively assign staff to closely follow the area and fully count the damage. Isolated villages and hamlets must find every way to approach and support people in a timely manner, not letting them go hungry, cold, or lack food. Resolutely prohibit people and vehicles from circulating at unsafe wharves, bridges, and culverts. Strictly implement the directives of the Provincial People's Committee; organize 24/7 on-call duty, and regularly update weather developments.

As the water recedes, the environment must be cleaned up and life and production restored. Departments and branches must proactively coordinate with local authorities to ensure electricity supply, traffic safety, and communication, while also closely monitoring the flood discharge situation of hydroelectric reservoirs to have appropriate response measures.

Comrade Nguyen Manh Tuan requested the entire political system from the province to the grassroots level to continue to uphold the spirit of responsibility, urgency and determination in response work, to minimize damage and soon stabilize people's lives after storms and floods.
