Vessel owners asked to take shelter
The border guards, Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, the management boards of fishing ports must work with locality authorities to follow the development of the storm and continue to keep fishermen informed. They must also direct boats that are still on the sea to take shelter in time and make sure that no one stays on their boats.
Phu Yen has 227 boats with 1,322 fishermen still at sea. Of which 163 boats are working off-shore and 124 boats are near-shore fishing.
In Danang City, residents are being asked to stay indoors and not leave their houses after 8 pm. Employees can take a leave of absence on October 28, except search and rescue teams and special cases. Farmers and fishermen were asked to not stay at their farms or boats.
The authorities in Thua Thien-Hue Province also asked residents to not leave home after 9 pm on October 27 until 6 pm on October 28. Even though the storm will not land directly in Thua Thien-Hue, the province will still be affected by strong winds and heavy rains. It is forecast that Storm Molave is even stronger than Storm Noul which knocked over many trees and unroofed many buildings in Hue.
Residents are being advised to take down signboards, trim the trees and make plans to charge batteries for electrical equipment as it's possible that there may be an outage and continue to inform charity groups that may not notice the announcement.
Nearly 130 boats and ships are docking in Hue. The waterway police have asked the boat owners to take shelter. Evacuation plans are also carried out for people who live by the sea or rivers and estuaries.
