To stabilize the lives of the people and restore production, as well as to respond to the heavy rainfall after the storm, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development proposes that the localities continue to strictly implement the urgent directive of the Prime Minister. For the delta and coastal areas, focus on searching for missing persons at the Phong Chau bridge incident in Phu Tho province and those missing due to floods, flash floods, and landslides in Cao Bang, Lao Cai, and other provinces. Implement measures to ensure the safety of dykes and the safety of the Red River and Thai Binh River systems.
Localities need to concentrate resources on overcoming the consequences of the storm; ensure the provision and support of food, water, and other essentials, absolutely not letting people go hungry or cold; mobilize forces to assist people in repairing houses, cleaning the environment, and preventing epidemics. Prioritize resources to repair schools and hospitals and support the cleaning and sanitation of schools to ensure the return of students to classes. Conduct environmental sanitation to prevent post-storm epidemics.
Focus on operating pumping stations and irrigation works to drain flooded rice and horticultural crops; prepare ready-to-use seed sources for production recovery after the storm. Focus on draining urban areas, industrial parks, and low-lying areas.
For the northern mountainous region, focus on evacuating people from areas with deep flooding and a high risk of flash floods and landslides. Organize forces to guard and control traffic at underwater, flooded, and landslide-prone areas; do not allow people and vehicles to pass if safety cannot be guaranteed. Prepare forces, materials, and vehicles to overcome traffic interruption situations. Inspect and be ready to ensure the safety of reservoirs and downstream areas, especially small hydropower reservoirs and critical reservoirs that are already full; arrange forces to be on duty to operate and regulate and handle incidents. Strengthen information and communication so that people can proactively grasp and respond to prevent and minimize damage.
