He directed local authorities to urgently relocate people in coastal and low-lying areas, stockpile food, water, and essential supplies, and maintain round-the-clock readiness.
In the western region, Standing Vice Chairwoman of the Provincial People’s Committee, Y Ngọc, held a meeting with local departments and armed forces to check emergency preparedness, urging all units to stay on 24-hour duty and place people’s safety and property protection as the top priority.
The provincial Military Command reinforced forces in mountainous and border communes prone to flash floods, while the Department of Construction prepared machinery to promptly clear roads and support rescue efforts after the storm.
Vice Chairman Nguyễn Ngọc Sâm, together with a working delegation, inspected local preparedness for Typhoon Kalmaegi (Storm No. 13) in Minh Long and Sơn Mai communes.
During the inspection, the Vice Chairman instructed local authorities to evacuate all residents from high-risk areas, ensuring that no one remains in landslide-prone zones, riverbanks, or flood-prone areas, to safeguard lives as the storm approaches.
He praised the proactive and swift response of local administrations and on-site forces.
Vice Chairman Sâm directed the two communes to continue reviewing residential areas near rivers, streams, and mountain slopes, install warning signs and barricades at dangerous sites and deploy personnel to guard and guide residents, preventing movement through flooded or landslide-prone zones.
