Arrange safe and thoughtful storm shelters for people who have to evacuate from dangerous areas.

A resident at the Quang Ninh Port housing complex was taken by officers to a rest room at the Border Guard Station at Hon Gai Port.

Quang Ninh Port collective housing area at group 5, area 1, Hong Gai ward was identified as a grade D degraded construction - a particularly dangerous level when the storm makes landfall. On July 20, the Border Guard Station at Hon Gai port coordinated with the authorities to mobilize and organize the reception and accommodation for more than 20 households with more than 40 residents residing in the collective housing area to take shelter from the storm.

Rooms for officers and soldiers are arranged for people to take shelter from the storm.

Lieutenant Colonel Tay Van Thai, Political Commissar of the Border Guard Station of Hon Gai Port, Border Guard Command, Provincial Military Command said: The Quang Ninh Port housing complex is located opposite the unit, so from early on, we had a plan to arrange, within the unit's possible conditions, rooms for officers and soldiers and a meeting hall to welcome and ensure accommodation and living in stormy conditions.

Lieutenant Colonel Tay Van Thai, Political Commissar of the Border Guard Station of Hon Gai Port, encouraged people to feel secure during their temporary stay at the unit.

Hong Gai Ward has 32 households with 100 residents in the danger zone, requiring urgent evacuation. By the afternoon of July 21, all of these households had been evacuated to a safe place and were provided with free accommodation during the storm.

Quang Ninh Port Collective Area is identified as a grade D degraded building.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien, group 5, zone 1, Hong Gai ward shared: My family has 2 small children, and there is also an elderly person downstairs. Last year, before Typhoon Yagi made landfall, we had not yet seen the level of danger caused by the storm, which could cause the house to collapse. However, because last year's storm was too strong, with the level of degradation becoming more and more serious, today, when the government urged us, we told each other to move. The border guards were very attentive, welcomed us very warmly, and also provided us with plenty of food and water, showing the close relationship between the army and the people.

Ha Lam ward authorities check families that have been evacuated due to the risk of landslides.

Also since last year's storm No. 3, people's awareness has changed, most of them are no longer as subjective as before. Realizing the danger level of this year's storm No. 3, people in areas with high risk of landslides, flooding, or roof loss all agreed when receiving the mobilization of functional forces and local authorities, ready to move to a safe place.

Comrade Bui Thi Huyen Trang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Ha Lam Ward visited and encouraged households that had relocated to the neighborhood cultural house.

As one of the 52 households in the dangerous area that had to be urgently evacuated, Ms. Do Thi Huong, Group 16, Ha Trung 2 area, Ha Lam ward shared: Last year, my house's roof was blown off, at that time my family was inside the house, it was very dangerous. Although the roof was rebuilt, I was not assured about the safety level. Therefore, this year, when the government encouraged me, my two children and I went to the neighborhood cultural house to take shelter from the storm. Here, I found everything very good. The people in the neighborhood provided us with enough food and water. I was very touched.

Accommodation conditions for people are carefully prepared.

Proactive response, timely evacuation of people to safe places, along with smooth coordination between the government and functional forces, as well as people's awareness will contribute to minimizing risks and ensuring absolute safety in high-risk conditions due to storms.
