During a field trip to Thanh Hoa to
inspect its preparation for the storm, the official asked chairpersons of the
province and its districts to directly steer the evacuation work.
The province needs to set forth plans to protect crops and facilities,
minimising all potential losses caused by the disaster, he said, highlighting
the core role of armed forces in handling storm-related incidents.
While in Thanh Hoa, the Deputy PM inspected the operation of Cua Dat reservoir
in Thuong Xuan district.
The province houses up to 610 reservoirs, of which 124 have failed to meet
safety regulations in cases of flooding.
All the 7,443 vessels and 27,747 people working at sea in Thanh Hoa have
reached shelters.
Storm Bebinca, the fourth appearing in the East
Sea this year, is forecast to hit the
mainland of Vietnam
early on August 17. It passed the Leizhou Peninsular of China and entered the Tonkin Gulf
on August 16.
At 1pm on August 16, its centre was at about 19.9 degrees north and 107.8
degrees east, just above Vietnam’s
Bach Long Vi Island. It sustained wind speeds of up to 75-100km per hour,
according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.
In the next 24 hours, Bebinca is predicted to move westwards at about 10km per
hour.
It will directly affect the coastal provinces from Quang Ninh to Nghe An on the
night of August 16.
Later, the storm will move further into the mainland and abate into a tropical
depression whose centre will be at around 20.1 degrees north and 105 degrees
east, just above the Vietnam-Laos border area, at 1pm of August 17.
As a result, heavy rains with an average rainfall of 250-300mm are likely to
occur in northern and northern central regions from August 16 to August 18.
Notably, Hoa Binh and Thanh Hoa provinces may record a rainfall of up to
400-500mm.
The forecasting centre also warned of a high risk of landslides and flash
floods in mountainous areas along with inundation in low-lying and urban
areas.–

A seminar on promoting the startup movement among high school students has been held recently by the provincial Department of Education and Training and the Vietnam National University of Agriculture at Tan Lac High School in Tan Lac district of Hoa Binh province.
In the morning of April 24th, at Uncle Ho’s Monument on Hoa Binh Hydroelectric Project, Vietnam Youth Federation coordinated with Hoa Binh Youth Federation to organize the journey "I love my Fatherland” to celebrate the 70th anniversary of Dien Bien Phu Victory.
From the fact that the market takes place only every Tuesday, Bo market in Van Son commune (Tan Lac) officially takes place every Sunday from March 24. Thereby, the aim is to turn the market into a place promoting the cultural identity of Muong people in Hoa Binh and the consumption of goods and products of the neighboring communes, meeting the needs of tourists for the local products when travelling to Van Son at weekends.
Nguyen Van Toan, Vice Chairman of the provincial People's Committee, chaired a meeting of the Steering Committee on Population and Development.
