Nghe An (VNA) 𒀰– Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha urged local athorities and relevant agencies to remain vigilant, and instructed police forces to ensure residents stay indoors from 11:00 to 18:00 on August 25 while chairing an emergency meeting on the same day to direct response measures to Typhoon Kajiki, the fifth storm to hit the East Sea this year.
After listening to reports from localities and functional forces on the typhoon’s developments and response efforts, Ha emphasised that it is a powerful storm with complex developments. Forecasts of its path have been relatively accurate, he said, urging agencies and localities to remain on full alert.
He also called on media outlets to provide timely and comprehensive information so that people can effectively prepare for and respond to the typhoon.
The Deputy PM warned that heavy rainfall during and after the storm could trigger flooding, flash floods, and landslides in low-lying and vulnerable areas. While current efforts must prioritise storm response, he said, clear plans should also be made to identify high-risk zones and mobilise forces and equipment to handle landslides, ensure traffic flow, and respond to emergencies. He stressed the importance of applying the “four on-the-spot” principle – local command, manpower, materials, and logistics – with a focus on villages and hamlets for effective disaster prevention.
