MobiFone network technical units in storm-affected areas follow the "4 on-site" principles (on-site command - on-site forces - on-site means and materials - on-site logistics) and "3 readiness" (proactive prevention - timely response - urgent and effective recovery).

MobiFone has inspected the system, network, infrastructure, and reviewed the overall network status in areas at risk of being affected by natural disasters, especially coastal provinces and mountainous areas prone to landslides.
