Accordingly, the units under the Quang Binh provincial Border Guard Command have mobilized over 600 officers and soldiers, along with vehicles, to be ready to carry out disaster prevention, control, and recovery missions. They have fostered coordination with other forces to call on and guide 6,174 fishing vessels with nearly 18,700 workers to take shelters. They have also enhanced inspection and review work to identify landslide spots or areas at risk of landslides and flash floods to promptly implement response measures.

Earlier on October 23, heavy rain and flash floods occurred in Le Thuy district, causing six households in Tan Ly village (Lam Thuy commune) to be inundated and landslides to occur. The school in Tan Ly village was also submerged. The heavy rain and wind blew off roofs of two houses in Ngu Thuy commune. Approximately 40 cubic meters of soil and rock caused traffic congestion in a road section in Mit Cat village, Kim Thuy commune. Lang Ho Border Post under the Quang Binh provincial Border Guard Command coordinated with local authorities to evacuate six households to safer place, repair and temporarily reinforce local people’s houses, and pro-actively implemented measures to move people out of high-risk landslide areas.
