To cope with the storm's effects, the Central Storm and Flood Prevention and Control Centre has sent a message to provinces and relevant sectors to help boats reach land in time.
The storm will also cause rain in the Philippines as it passes over northern Luzon Island .
In recent days, heavy rain in the northern mountain provinces caused flooding and landslides, resulting in the deaths of two women in Son La and Ha Giang provinces. Many properties and paddy areas have reportedly been damaged although the extent of the damages has not been announced.-VNA
