Mandatory Evacuations and Sea Bans Enforced to Protect Citizens
The Chairman of the Hai Phong People's Committee has ordered all municipal departments and local authorities to proactively execute worst-case scenarios. Local governance is focusing resources on securing vulnerable infrastructure, including dike systems, reservoirs, residential housing, and manufacturing facilities, ensuring that citizen safety remains the absolute priority.
Strict operational deadlines have been established, requiring all residents to vacate aquaculture cages, watchtowers, and marine vessels. This evacuation must be completed before midnight on July 3 for the Bach Long Vi special district, and before 12:00 PM on July 4 for all remaining coastal zones to prevent casualties from severe pre-storm lightning and gales.
