To proactively respond to storms and heavy rains, the risk of flash floods, landslides, inundation, ensuring the safety of people's lives and property and the State's property, the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee requests: the Party Secretary, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; the Party Secretaries of communes and wards directly lead the serious implementation of the directions of the Secretariat and the Prime Minister's telegrams stated in the above documents, focusing on implementing the following tasks:

Direct, guide, inspect, urge and mobilize forces (army, police, youth, etc.) to support people in strengthening houses, trimming trees, reinforcing and protecting headquarters, warehouses, production, business and service establishments, public works (especially educational and medical establishments), infrastructure works (especially paying attention to dikes, dams, high towers such as television, radio, telecommunications, power grids, advertising signs, etc.); deploy measures to protect production, especially agricultural production; support people in harvesting agricultural products, especially crops, aquaculture and seafood that are about to be harvested with the motto "green house is better than old field" to limit damage caused by storms and floods.

Urgently review plans, proactively arrange forces and means to be ready to organize and implement evacuation support and relocation of people in unsafe areas, especially in weak houses, low-lying residential areas, places at risk of coastal and riverside landslides, areas affected by big waves, flooding due to rising sea levels, heavy rains, and risks of flash floods and landslides. Resolutely do not let people stay on boats, rafts, and aquaculture huts when the storm directly affects them (if necessary, coercive measures must be taken to ensure people's safety).

Proactively arrange forces, materials and means in key areas to be ready to deploy response, rescue and relief work when situations arise; stockpile food, provisions and necessities in residential areas to avoid isolation when floods and landslides occur, and limit food shortages when storms and floods cause prolonged isolation.

Strictly implement Official Dispatch No. 25/CD-UBND dated August 23, 2025 of the Provincial People's Committee Chairman on proactively responding to storm No. 5 and floods caused by storm circulation.
