Typhoon 9 is a Very Big Forecast: Downtown People Must Remember Storm Avoidance Principles | Lifetime

‘Wind storm’ number 9

According to Mr. Huy, Typhoon No. 9 is likely to land on the morning of October 28 at the Quang Ngai border, Quang Nam, but due to a large storm, it may have a large area affected. From Phu Yen there is moderate wind, Binh Dinh is the strong wind, and the strongest wind is in the area from Quang Ngai to Thua Thien – Hue. Part of Quang Tri is also affected by the strong winds from this storm.

Huy cited forecasts from international stations such as: the US Navy, Hong Kong and Japan had the same result that when they landed Typhoon No. 9 had a wind speed equal to 117-130 km / h, equivalent at wind level 12 impact level 14 and may be higher.

Storm No. 9 is forecast to have very strong winds, so people should pay close attention

“Disaster warning messages can have different levels of precision, not all reports are accurate, but more importantly, people are not subjective when they receive disaster alerts. When the flood happens, people can sit on the roof and wait 1-2 days for someone to come to the rescue, but the storm takes only 1-2 hours, in principle, the rescue team cannot come out during the storm. Evacuation is the most important factor and people are not subjective, ”emphasized Mr. Huy.

In explaining whether the consecutive storms heading to the Plant were abnormal or not, Mr. Huy said that this was a predicted phenomenon due to the increase in La Niña activities, the peak of La Niña activity was at that time. From the end of September to the beginning of October, and the extreme peak is November 2020, the increase in tropical depressions that form storms and continuous rains is foreseeable.

Principles for avoiding storms

Huy said that on January 4, 2017, Typhoon Damrey entered Khanh Hoa, with a quick stat of the day, 1,141 ships were sunk or damaged due to overly large storms. In addition, the storm caused 1,300 houses to collapse, almost 115,000 houses blown off their roofs. 10 large boats parked off the coast of Binh Dinh 1 nautical mile away also sank or were stranded because when the waves hit the shore, the sand created dunes in the sea. Therefore, fishermen should pay particular attention to the following principles to protect lives and property as follows:

According to Mr. Huy, when the storm has landed, protecting lives is the most important thing

In addition, one more way, fishermen can pay attention to apply in the following storm avoidance phases, but this period is not suitable because there are other storms preparing to enter the East Sea after typhoon No. 9. ships in southwest, not in the direction of the hurricane, for example a hurricane landing in the west and northwest, the lower south side of the Spratly archipelago could move to the Vung Tau side but immediately after storm No. 9, the first Day of the East Sea, another storm continues and around the third day, another storm approaches the coast. Therefore, approaching the South Central Coast, the ships and boats going in that direction have to keep running towards Ho Chi Minh City, Ca Mau, so if we run like this, the whole day running the storm will be very difficult.

Therefore, large cargo ships should stay out of the path of the storm, not anchored 1 mile from shore because there will be the highest wave (7-8 m).

– In the period of preparation to respond to the storm, people pay special attention to the protection of property, giving priority to the most valuable property to protect, such as the house. Second, the property in the home, such as cars, televisions, electronics, kitchen appliances, food that can be protected. We can collect all that property in the upper corner of the tall house and add a piece of tarp to prevent windstorms, the roof will not get them wet. When all the preparations are done, tie up the house and protect the strength of the birds. Then evacuate the grade 4 house that is roofed with shingles and corrugated iron.

Huy recommends that people who live in Grade 4 homes have tile and corrugated iron roofs to evacuate and avoid storms.

“Experience from previous storms shows that when a hurricane is level 12 or higher, the grade 4 houses are roofed with corrugated iron, the shingles are not safe during the storm, people must evacuate on site to a house neighbor, 2 floors or more to avoid storms ”, emphasized Mr. Huy.

Mr. Huy also said that during storms, it is absolutely impossible to protect property, but to give priority to the protection of people.

For Typhoon No. 9, it is strongly recommended that residents of Quang Ngai, part of Binh Dinh, Quang Nam Province, Da Nang, Thua Thien – Hue and part of Quang Tri be evacuated to ensure safety. Please note especially that the houses of level 4 were soaked with water during the last flood in Quang Nam, Thua Thien – Hue, Quang Tri, the wall is weak, people should not stay in the house with weak walls because the level of Wind 11 or higher has. falling risk. By paying attention to the walls around the house, you can use the trees to prevent them from falling over and save money to rebuild.

– When the storm hits, people in the mentioned areas do not leave the house at all.

Another important aspect that Mr. Huy pointed out is that, when avoiding storms, attention must be paid to the role of women. They have specific needs, but without preparing for it, in the face of a natural disaster or after a disaster they can become a more vulnerable group, more vulnerable than men. In addition, the group of elderly, single women, single women, families without men of working age should also be noticed by neighbors and local authorities in the evacuation, as well as in support of needs. disaster recovery products.

In addition, the decision-making power of women during the evacuation is also very important because they have time to bond, observe the house, so that they know what is important. Therefore, the men of the house should pay attention to empowering women while there is not much time to discuss how to avoid Typhoon No. 9.
