An overview of the exercise

According to the simulated situation, the area, with Van Thanh commune as the center, was heavily affected by severe weather over the past few days and about to face another large storm.

In response to the scenario, the participating forces effectively evacuated people from vulnerable areas, relocated watercraft to safe places, and conducted SAR operations at sea. At the same time, they provided people with medical aid, food, and necessities, helping them overcome the disaster impact.

Speaking at the event, Tuan urged authorities to continue to raise people’s awareness of pro-active disaster prevention, inspect their mobilization capacity for disaster prevention and SAR operations according to the “four on-the-spot” motto, and adjust and complete plans and infrastructure for effective disaster response with absolute safety.
