The State Reserve General Department requires the regional reserve departments to be on 24-hour standby, constantly monitoring and updating information on the typhoon’s progress, and taking timely measures to prevent and mitigate its impact.
“Strengthen the inspection of state reserve warehouses and goods; implement prevention and combat measures to ensure the safety of people, assets, and state reserve goods,” the department urged. “Have a proactive plan and coordinate with local authorities to be ready to respond, overcome, handle, and resolve any situations that may arise at the warehouses and headquarters.”

The regional State Reserve Departments, which are currently involved in the import and export of state reserve goods, are urged to adopt solutions to ensure absolute safety of people, assets, and goods quality during these processes. These departments should also prepare plans and solutions regarding human resources, vehicles, and state reserve goods to organize the timely allocation of state reserve goods to support localities in responding to and overcoming the consequences of floods and storms according to the decisions of authorized agencies.
At a meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha on the evening of September 5, Mr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, said that Typhoon No. 3 is located in the northern part of the East Vietnam Sea, about 500 km east of Hainan Island (China). The typhoon is intense, with winds of up to 16 and gusts of over 17.
According to Mr. Khiem, this is a very strong typhoon with a wide influence. Currently, all international typhoon forecast centers share the view that Typhoon No. 3 will continue to maintain super typhoon intensity (from 16 and above) until it reaches the coastal area east of Hainan Island, China. Afterward, the typhoon will move into the Gulf of Tonkin with sustained winds of 13-14 and gusts of up to 16, and when it makes landfall, its intensity is likely to remain at 9-12 with gusts of 13-14.
By the night of September 6, the typhoon is expected to pass north of Hainan Island and enter the Gulf of Tonkin, directly affecting all coastal provinces from Quang Ninh to Thanh Hoa.
