The Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee reminded Quy Hop district not to be subjective and to update information on the situation after the storm, because after a storm, mountainous areas often have prolonged heavy rains causing landslides, flash floods, inundation... It is necessary to arrange forces to block and carefully guard key traffic routes with spillways and irrigation works.
