Coastal communes and wards urgently review and count all local boats and vehicles operating at sea and along the coast; coordinate with relevant agencies by all means to inform ship owners and captains of boats and vehicles still operating at sea about the developments and forecast of the storm's movement; guide them to move away from and not enter areas at risk of being affected by the storm; call on and guide boats and vehicles to safe shelters; and at the same time guide and support the implementation of necessary measures to ensure the safety of boats at anchorage.

Proactively review plans, forces, and means to be ready to organize and deploy evacuation support and relocation of people in unsafe areas before the storm directly affects them, and deploy response, rescue, and relief work when bad situations occur.

Deploy as soon as possible measures to prevent and combat storms at sea, in coastal areas and on land, paying attention to proactively reinforcing to ensure the safety of houses, infrastructure works, sea dykes, limiting damage to production, especially agricultural production in coastal areas; support people in harvesting agricultural products that are about to be harvested with the motto "green house is better than old field" to limit damage caused by storms.
