On the afternoon of September 12, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha and his delegation inspected the Gia Vien Pumping Station and Lac Khoi spillway.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha acknowledged Ninh Binh province’s proactive spirit in implementing flood response plans after storm No. 3. In particular, Ninh Binh has implemented the spillway release order in accordance with the procedures, carried out the evacuation plan when the water level reached 4.9 m and well prepared for the “4 on-site” work in the locality.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized that the water level on the Hung Thi, Hong and Nhue rivers has decreased. In addition, according to the forecast of the hydrometeorological agency, the water level on the Day and Hoang Long rivers is showing signs of slowing down. Thus, the factors affecting the reduction of flood water levels on Ninh Binh's rivers are very favorable.
The Deputy Prime Minister requested Ninh Binh to closely monitor weather developments and organize contingency plans in case of any situation.
Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha also noted that Ninh Binh needs to clearly identify that the flood level has only decreased in danger, but is still above alert level 3, and the weather situation is still complicated. Therefore, we must not be subjective, we need to continue to closely monitor weather developments, organize plans to be ready when situations arise; mobilize forces to continuously patrol and guard the dike until it is safe.
The Deputy Prime Minister requested that authorities at all levels mobilize maximum resources to take good care of people's lives, ensure safety of life and property, and prevent people from lacking food, drinking water, or medicine. Strengthen propaganda work so that people continue to raise awareness of the dangers of floods and proactively prevent safety.
