Organize the counting of vessels operating at sea, strictly manage means of transport at sea, notify owners of means of transport, captains of vessels and boats operating at sea of the location, direction of movement and developments of tropical depressions to proactively avoid, escape or not move into dangerous areas.
Check, review, and prepare plans to ensure safety for activities at sea and aquaculture; proactively prohibit sea travel and ensure safety for people and property at watchtowers and rafts depending on the development of the tropical depression; prepare forces and means for rescue when required.
For the mainland regions of the Central, Central Highlands and South, the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control requires close monitoring of developments of heavy rain, floods, inundation, flash floods, landslides, and timely and complete information to authorities at all levels and people to proactively prevent, respond and minimize damage.
Deploy shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, and low-lying areas to proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people in areas at high risk of deep flooding, flash floods, and landslides.
Organize forces to be ready to control and direct traffic, put up warning signs, especially at culverts, spillways, deep flooded areas, and fast-flowing water; proactively arrange forces, materials, and means to overcome incidents, ensuring smooth traffic on main traffic routes when heavy rain occurs.
Direct the work of ensuring safety of important sea dykes or those under construction; be ready to deploy measures to drain water, protect production, and prevent flooding in urban areas and industrial parks.
Inspect, review, and deploy operation plans and ensure safety of reservoirs and downstream areas, especially small hydropower reservoirs and important irrigation reservoirs; arrange permanent forces to operate and regulate and be ready to handle possible situations.
The Ministries of Natural Resources and Environment, Agriculture and Rural Development, Information and Communications, Industry and Trade, Transport, National Defense, and Public Security closely monitor and direct measures to be ready to respond when bad situations occur.
