In Cua Lo ward, one of the coastal localities directly affected by the storm, the evacuation of people is being urgently implemented. Mr. Nguyen Van Hung - Vice Chairman of Cua Lo ward People's Committee said that the whole ward has 615 households that need to be evacuated because their houses are degraded and at risk of losing their roofs when the storm makes landfall. Of these, 53 households have been taken to concentrated shelters such as schools and cultural houses. The remaining households are temporarily arranged in solid houses in the area to ensure safety before the storm.
The evacuation is carried out on the principle of prioritizing the elderly, children and households in difficult circumstances. Local authorities closely coordinate with the police, military and mass organizations to support transportation, arrange temporary accommodation, and ensure essential living conditions for people during the evacuation period.
In coastal areas, the waves are rising, in some areas such as Quynh Phu commune, seawater has begun to overflow the dike, directly threatening coastal residential areas. In this situation, the local government has assigned forces to be on duty 24/7, ready to deploy additional evacuation plans if a bad situation occurs.
Restaurants, hotels, and houses along the coast have also been proactively and urgently reinforced by local residents, using sandbags in front of basement doors to prevent seawater from flooding in and damaging property.
As the core force, Director of Nghe An Provincial Police, Colonel Dinh Viet Dung, directed the entire force to deploy storm prevention plans according to the motto "4 on-site, 3 ready" and the action slogan "When people need, when people are in difficulty, there is the police". Commune and ward police units maintained 100% of their personnel, coordinated with the army, border guards and local authorities to support the evacuation of people, especially in areas at risk of flooding, landslides and flash floods. The functional forces also organized traffic diversion, promptly handled landslides and congestion caused by storms and rains, ensuring order and safety on key routes.
To ensure absolute safety, the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province has decided to let all students stay home from school on September 29. Schools have also been requisitioned as shelters for displaced people, with the support of armed forces in ensuring security and logistics.
On the same morning, the Ministry of National Defense 's inspection team led by Senior Lieutenant General Huynh Chien Thang - Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army inspected the response in Nghe An. He praised the proactive and flexible spirit of the local army and people, and requested units to continue reviewing and adjusting response plans, fully preparing forces, means, food and provisions to be ready to support people in case of emergency.
Up to now, agencies and units of Military Region 4 and Nghe An province have deployed synchronous measures to respond to storm No. 10. Adhering to the "4 on-site" motto helps localities to be proactive in all situations, especially in evacuating people from dangerous areas.
In the context of increasingly complex natural disasters, the drastic intervention of the government and functional forces, along with the spirit of solidarity and proactiveness of the people, are the key factors helping Nghe An minimize damage caused by storms.
