The Vietnamese aviation industry is strengthening measures to ensure maximum safety in the face of complex natural disasters. The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam emphasizes the principles of unified command, specific assignment of responsibilities, proactiveness, and timeliness in all emergency situations.
These are key factors for effectively responding to natural disasters, and they also need to be flexibly adjusted according to the actual developments of each event, ensuring the highest effectiveness in response efforts.
The Vietnam Civil Aviation Authority has recently issued a document requesting agencies and units to proactively manage risks and inspect each aviation facility and flight path.
Disaster prevention and mitigation efforts are implemented based on a risk management approach for each aviation facility and flight path. This requires a thorough assessment of potential impacts that could increase the risk from natural disasters.
Relevant agencies and units are required to enhance their capacity and strengthen the organizational structure of the disaster prevention and search and rescue command center. The goal is to build a centralized, unified system capable of responding quickly and effectively to extreme and unusual weather events, ensuring absolute safety for aviation operations.
At the same time, the Department also requested that plans and measures be in place to minimize damage to people and property caused by natural disasters during this period.
To ensure maximum effectiveness, heads of agencies and units must thoroughly understand and effectively implement the "four on-site" principle. This principle includes: on-site command to ensure direct and timely guidance at the scene; on-site forces to mobilize and utilize local human resources; on-site materials and equipment to prepare necessary supplies; and on-site logistics to ensure adequate supply of necessities and support.
Implement the "4-on-site" principle correctly, quickly, and accurately to ensure the rights of passengers.
This approach is implemented based on the principles of proactive prevention, timely response, and prompt and effective remediation, creating a comprehensive and flexible response system that minimizes damage.
The aviation authority particularly emphasized the need to closely monitor the development of natural disasters and strictly comply with all directives, guidelines, and warnings from the government and relevant agencies. The proactive approach and heightened sense of responsibility of units participating with the government, departments, and local organizations in disaster prevention, response, and recovery efforts are crucial, contributing to building a strong and resilient community in the face of natural disasters.
According to the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, from now until August, the likelihood of typhoons or tropical depressions forming in the East Sea and affecting Vietnam is approximately the same as the average of previous years.
According to the National Center for Meteorological and Hydrological Forecasting, from now until August, typhoons or tropical depressions in the East Sea are likely to be at approximately the same level as the multi-year average and affect Vietnam. In particular, the Northern, North Central, Central Highlands, and Southern regions are at high risk of moderate to heavy rain, accompanied by dangerous weather phenomena such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind.
From September to November, heavy rainfall across a wide area tends to increase, especially in the Central region. During this time, the activity of typhoons or tropical depressions in the East Sea and their impact on the mainland is also forecast to be approximately at the average level of previous years. To minimize damage from these extreme weather patterns, meteorological and hydrological experts advise people and agencies to regularly monitor forecasts and warnings to proactively take timely and effective response measures, ensuring safety for lives and production activities.
