Efforts to rescue people and overcome the consequences in the hard-hit regions are being intensified. Around 4,100 kg of relief goods are transported to the flooded areas in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum.
Local authorities in the central provinces of Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue and Quang Ngai allocated budgets to assist families of the victims of the tropical storm, providing relief aid such as medicine, food and chemicals to pasteurise the environment.
The Quang Tri authorities have also assisted two Lao neighbouring provinces of Salavan and Savalakhet which were also stricken by the storm.

The National Steering Committee for Flood and Storm Control urged all relevant localities, ministries and agencies to stay alert to the storm, inform ship owners of its direction and maintain close contacts with the later./.
