Faced with the complicated developments of storm No. 5, Border Guard stations in Nghe An province have synchronously deployed storm prevention and control measures.

In An Chau commune (former Dien Chau district), many officers and soldiers of the Dien Trung Border Guard Task Force (under Dien Thanh Border Guard Station) and local people urgently dismantled net houses and reinforced the banks of shrimp ponds. The nets, bamboo poles, and temporary roofs were removed and gathered in a safe place.

“The family has 7,000m2"The net house, if left intact, when the storm comes, can be blown away by the wind and collapse, damaging both property and people. To dismantle such an area of ​​net, many people are needed. With the help of the soldiers, the work was completed much faster," said Mr. Nguyen Cuong - the owner of a shrimp farming household in An Chau commune.

Not only supporting the dismantling, the border guards also directly inspected the ponds, guided people to harvest shrimp areas that reached commercial size early, and assigned personnel to be on duty 24/7 in key areas.
