In the context of storm No. 5 with very strong intensity moving rapidly towards the mainland of Nghe An province, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee has issued urgent instructions to implement the Prime Minister's urgent dispatch.

The official dispatch, signed by Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Hoang Nghia Hieu, requested leaders and relevant units to urgently carry out the following key tasks:

The top priority is to evacuate people from the danger zone.

The Provincial Party Committee requested the Secretary of the Provincial People's Committee Party Committee and the Party Secretaries of communes and wards to continue to focus on directing the work of resolutely relocating residents.

Areas requiring special attention include: people on boats at anchor, on rafts, aquaculture watchtowers and in unsafe buildings.

In addition, it is necessary to urgently review and immediately evacuate people in areas at risk of flash floods, landslides, and areas at risk of deep flooding and fast-flowing water.

Restrict people and vehicles to ensure safety

To avoid unfortunate incidents, the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee has assigned the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee the authority to decide on restricting people and vehicles on roads and waterways. Control of people's movement will be tightened when strong storms and floods directly affect.

Provincial leaders directly go to the grassroots to direct

Leaders of the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial People's Committee and members of the Standing Committee will, according to their assigned areas, directly go to key communes and wards to direct, inspect and urge response work.

The tasks at the base focus on evacuating people, ensuring food and essential supplies, and maintaining electricity and communication waves from villages to the provincial level.

At the same time, it is necessary to direct the safe operation of irrigation and hydroelectric dams and prepare means and equipment for rescue when situations arise.

This document was requested to be implemented urgently, showing the determination of the entire political system of Nghe An province in protecting the safety of people's lives and property against storm No. 5.
