Local authorities issued an emergency directive on Friday evening, ordering all vessels to return to safe shelters and suspending activities in estuaries, coastal and offshore areas.
The provincial Border Guard Command was tasked with guiding vessels to safe shelters, ensuring secure anchorage and getting people ashore before the storm arrives, with the work to be completed by 8 am on Saturday.
Border guard units were also ordered to prepare personnel and equipment for search and rescue operations and coordinate with police and local military forces to maintain security in coastal areas.
Authorities have instructed communes and wards to inspect vulnerable dykes, embankments, sluices, construction sites and weak buildings, particularly along estuaries and the coast, amid concerns that the storm combined with rising water levels could cause flooding or breaches.
Coastal communes were ordered to evacuate workers from clam farms, aquaculture sites and low-lying coastal and riverside areas by 11 am on Saturday, while deploying emergency personnel, equipment and supplies to high-risk areas.
The Hung Yen Department of Agriculture and Environment has been tasked with closely monitoring the storm and issuing timely forecasts and warnings, whil local police are preparing forces and equipment for emergency response and rescue operations.
Hung Yen Power Company has also been instructed to protect the electricity network and minimise disruptions, particularly to pumping stations used to drain flooded areas.
