In addition to responding to emergencies, the Department has collaborated with local police and other agencies to educate residents on safety measures during the storm. They have conducted thorough assessments of areas at high risk of collapse to prevent accidents and ensure public safety.
As the storm continues to affect the region, the Department advises residents to avoid areas with large trees and construction sites where hazards are present. They also emphasize not seeking shelter under trees during heavy rain and being cautious in areas with large metal sheets or construction materials.
For emergencies such as fires, explosions, or other incidents, residents are urged to contact the Department immediately by calling 114 or using the “Báo cháy 114” app on mobile devices.
The Department remains dedicated to minimizing the impact of the storm and protecting the lives and property of the city's residents.
