The Ministry of Education and Training has just sent a telegram to the Directors of the Department of Education and Training of provinces and cities from Lam Dong and above about proactively responding to Storm No. 9.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, according to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, as of 1 p.m. on September 21, the center of Storm Ragasa (Storm No. 9) was approximately 430 km east of Luzon Island (Philippines). The strongest wind near the center of the storm was at level 14-15 (150-183 km/h), gusting to level 17.

Forecast, Storm No. 9 is moving in the West Northwest direction, about 15-20km per hour, in the next 24 hours, continue to move in the West Northwest direction and has the potential to strengthen, by 13:00 on September 22, about 120km north of Luzon Island (Philippines) with the intensity increasing to super typhoon level, level 16-17, gusting above level 17.

This is an extremely strong storm with complex developments and the potential to directly impact most provinces and cities across the country. Heavy rains caused by the storm pose a very high risk of flash floods, landslides and widespread flooding, especially in areas with steep terrain and weak soil.

To proactively respond, minimize damage and ensure safety for people and property in the education sector, the Minister of Education and Training requested the Directors of the Departments of Education and Training of provinces and cities from Lam Dong and beyond to closely monitor the developments of storms and floods, maintain regular contact with authorities and local rescue forces to promptly respond in case of incidents.

In addition, develop plans to ensure safety for students, teachers and education managers; prepare online learning plans and postpone school schedules during complicated stormy days.

Review, inspect and consolidate school facilities, especially at remote schools in remote areas, where there is a high risk of landslides or flooding. Move assets, machinery, equipment, tables, chairs, and records to a safe place to minimize damage, loss, and loss. Be ready to receive people to take shelter from storms in schools when safety is ensured.

Promptly repair damage; clean and sanitize schools/classrooms immediately after storms to ensure safety, cleanliness, and disease prevention.

The Ministry also requested the Directors of the Departments of Education and Training of provinces and cities to continuously update information, summarize damages, report to the Provincial People's Committees for remediation, and report to the Ministry.
