The MPS urged the units to closely monitor developments of the storm and related dangerous weather phenomena via the mass media to map appropriate responses to the situations; to enhance media coverage on the Public Security Forces’ efforts in saving people from dangerous weather phenomena and supporting disaster-hit people to overcome consequences.

Meanwhile, leaders of the participating units should ensure safety for the officers and soldiers working at disaster-hit areas.

The MPS also requests units to ensure security and order in localities, prepare forces and means for rescue missions upon request.

Data from the National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting predicts that the typhoon will enter the East Sea on December 18. By 7am on December 18, the typhoon will be about 270km south-east of Song Tu Tay Island, belonging to Truong Sa (Spratly) Archipelago, with wind speeds near the eye reaching 135-150km per hour.

It was moving west-northwest at around 25-30km per hour, the centre said. The typhoon, combined with the effects of a cold spell, will cause rough seas and waves of 5-7m will appear in the northern part of the East Sea on December 16 night, the centre said.
