“Determining that the storm circulation will greatly affect the Thanh Hoa area, the province has mobilized maximum human and material resources to support local people to minimize damage caused by storms and rains.

On the afternoon of September 28, Thanh Hoa province will establish a working group stationed in Hoi Xuan commune, including police, border guards, medical and agricultural forces, ready to be on duty and handle any situations that arise, putting the safety of people's lives and property above all else," said Mr. Liem.

Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha highly appreciated the proactive response of localities in the work of preventing and fighting storm No. 10.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that this is a very strong storm, moving quickly through an area where many ships are operating; heading towards the mainland of the North Central region, which has just suffered heavy damage due to storm No. 3, storm No. 5 and post-storm floods.

According to Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, the storm is expected to make landfall at night, so localities must absolutely not be subjective or negligent, and must assign tasks with "clear people, clear work, and clear responsibilities".

He also requested localities to urgently review and complete response scenarios, especially for sudden and unexpected situations that may arise when a storm makes landfall; thoroughly evacuate people in dangerous areas, and resolutely not allow people to return to their homes, cages, and aquaculture areas when safety is not yet guaranteed.

The Deputy Prime Minister suggested that localities refer to Thanh Hoa's approach in mobilizing functional forces in key areas, simultaneously implementing storm prevention in both coastal and mountainous areas, minimizing casualties and damage caused by natural disasters.

Relevant ministries and branches closely monitor post-storm circulation developments, promptly warn of dangerous weather patterns, tighten dam inspections and expand the area of ​​​​affected areas to avoid being subjective in any situation; ensure adequate conditions to maintain communications and power grids to serve storm prevention, control and overcoming consequences.

According to the report of the National Civil Defense Steering Committee, the eye of storm No. 10 is on the sea area of ​​Quang Tri - Da Nang with strong winds of level 12, gusting to level 15.

It is forecasted that from the afternoon of September 28, the wind on the mainland from Thanh Hoa to Northern Quang Tri will gradually increase to level 6-7, then increase to level 8-9; near the storm center, level 10-12, gusting to level 14. The strongest wind will be from the evening until the end of the night of September 28. The storm will stay on land for about 6-8 hours (from 6:00 p.m. on September 28 to 2:00 a.m. on September 29).

In anticipation of the storm's impact, localities have counted and guided 67,970 vehicles/286,677 workers to safe storm shelters and escape the storm's path.
