Accordingly, coastal, island, and sea areas must closely follow the movement of the storm via the mass media, while also providing guidance for and keep close contact with the captains and owners of vessels and cruise boats to ensure the safety of lives and assets.
Mainland areas were also required to promptly alert authorities and people of the storm, actively drain water and prevent flooding in urban and agricultural farming areas, and ensure the safety of dykes, reservoirs, and ongoing works.
Local residents in low-lying, coastal, and landslide-prone areas must be evacuated to prevent the risk of floods and landslides.
The National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting was asked to provide timely forecasting update for relevant units, especially rain volume and flows of Son La and Hoa Binh rivers, as well as prepare forces and vehicles for search and rescue if necessary.
The Vietnam News Agency, Vietnam Television, Radio the Voice of Vietnam, and press outlets from the central to local levels must raise public awareness of the storm and regularly report to the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and the National Committee for Disaster Response, Search and Rescue.
Over the next 24 hours, the storm is forecast to move north-north west, at about 5km per hour.
Later, over the next 48-72 hours, it will move west-south west and affect the north of the Tonkin Gulf, causing heavy to very heavy rainfalls in the northern and north central regions.
