Military region braces for storm Doksuri
PANO – On September 13, the Military Region 5 (MR5) Command ordered relevant units to prepare forces and vehicles to brace for the 10th storm form in the East Sea this year, "Doksuri".
Consequently, the military region asked their affiliated units to maintain strict combat readiness, keep track of the storm’s development, ensure safety for all vehicles operating on rivers and at seas while double-checking equipment and vehicles for possible search and rescue missions and bolstering the unit’s barracks.
Boats anchored in Da Nang City to avoid storm Doksuri.
The military commands of coastal cities and provinces from Da Nang to Ninh Thuan were asked to collaborate with local authorities to contact and guide boats to take refuge to avoid being overwhelmed by the storm, and to follow the storm operation to carry out timely rescue operations.
Up to now, the region has mobilized over 40,000 troops, 453 different vehicles and 548 boats to prepare for the arrival of storm Doksuri.
