Faced with increasingly complex natural disasters, all levels and sectors of Vinh Phuc province have proactively applied modern scientific and technological advances to early warning of natural disasters. Thereby, improving the capacity to respond to and prevent climate change, and minimizing damage.

Located in the southwest of Tam Dao mountain range, Vinh Phuc is one of the heavy rain centers of the country.
To direct, manage, respond to and overcome the consequences of natural disasters, the Agriculture sector has applied and exploited the disaster prevention database (PCTT) on the online software of the Vietnam Disaster Monitoring System; used the PCTT App of the National Steering Committee for PCTT to update weather conditions and disaster warning bulletins; exploited and updated data from the specialized rain gauge system; coordinated with the Department of Information and Communications to establish a Zalo group of members of the Provincial PCTT & TKCN Command Committee to update information from members. From there, promptly direct measures to avoid being passive in the event of a natural disaster.
Providing timely information on natural disasters, the Agriculture sector has built a database on PCTT to serve the command and operation of the PCTT & TKCN Command Committee; a system connecting the online meeting room of the Standing Office of the Provincial PCTT & TKCN Committee with the Standing Office of the National Steering Committee on PCTT to participate in urgent online meetings when natural disasters, storms and floods occur..., thereby providing quick and timely information to serve the direction and operation of PCTT.
Carrying out the task of forecasting and warning of dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena (KTTV) to serve the work of preventing and mitigating natural disasters in the province, the Provincial Hydrometeorological Station (KTTV) has applied digital transformation in monitoring activities, collecting and storing information and data.
Accordingly, the unit has introduced the SmartMet meteorological forecasting support system transferred by the Finnish Meteorological Organization to integrate surface observation data, radar and satellite image products, forecasting models... on the same software; application for monitoring hydrometeorological data; application for warning of flash floods and landslides; Southeast Asia flash flood warning system and Vrain automatic rain gauge system... to promptly and fully provide warning bulletins, weather forecasts, and dangerous hydrology to the Provincial Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control and Search and Rescue, and agencies as prescribed.
Mr. Trinh Van Trung, Director of Vinh Phuc Hydrometeorological Station, said: Determining hydrometeorological information and data plays a particularly important role, not only serving early warning of natural disasters but also building strategies, planning, and development plans for industries and fields.
The application of digital transformation in the hydrometeorological sector helps the unit closely monitor weather and hydrological developments, thereby forecasting and promptly warning of dangerous weather and hydrological phenomena such as storms, tropical depressions, severe cold spells, frost, fog, heat, heavy rain, floods, inundation, thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, hail, strong gusts of wind, and droughts in the Northern Delta and Midlands to departments, branches, and localities for direction and management.
This helps people have appropriate production plans, contributing to reducing damage caused by weather.
Currently, the province has 10 national hydrometeorological stations, including 2 meteorological stations, 1 hydrological station and 7 rain gauge stations.
To gradually complete the network of specialized hydrometeorological monitoring stations in the province, ensuring scientific and modern nature, meeting the need for providing complete and timely information and data, the Provincial People's Committee has issued Decision No. 2278 approving the plan to develop the network of specialized hydrometeorological stations by 2025.
Accordingly, the province will develop 3 more stations using automatic monitoring technology; 10 stations using automatic water level and rain measurement technology.
At the same time, the province continues to promote the application of advanced science and technology to serve flood prevention and control work; establish an Executive Team to receive technology to operate the province's flood management system; install additional specialized rain gauge systems to supplement the province's rain gauge monitoring network; review and install flood warning systems at some key locations.
Install a camera system to monitor dikes and water levels on rivers; build a network of specialized hydrometeorological stations, aiming to meet the requirements of detailed hydrometeorological forecasting and warning to commune, ward and town levels; upgrade the hydrometeorological database, ensuring smooth, synchronous and highly reliable information, suitable for the development process of the 4.0 industrial revolution.
