The Ban Chỉ huy Phòng thủ dân sự tỉnh (provincial Civil Defense Command) directs disaster response, with the Department of Agriculture and Environment on duty to follow the weather and advise it, and the provincial hydro-meteorological station (Đài Khí tượng thủy văn tỉnh) issuing forecasts. The province's directives cover heavy rain, flooding, flash floods and landslides, and reservoir releases.

What to know in Lam Dong

  • The provincial portal item on heavy rain and flooding, which has no date on the page, gives the instructions the People's Committee has used: the command keeps officers on duty 24 hours, warns people, reviews landslide, flash flood and waterlogging areas and moves people when necessary; owners of dams and reservoirs follow the forecasts and warn downstream before releasing water; the hydro-meteorological station issues timely warnings.
  • The provincial police portal's guidance for typhoons and floods: follow forecasts, do not go out while a typhoon is making landfall, secure roofs and windows, raise valuables against flooding, obey evacuation requests, store clean water, food and medicine for at least 5 to 7 days, switch off power before a typhoon arrives, do not walk, swim or drive through fast flowing water, and shelter away from big trees and power poles during lightning.
  • A Lâm Đồng portal item on the national number 112 says the line is free, takes reports 24 hours a day, is based at the standing office of the provincial civil defense command (the provincial Military Command), and covers floods, landslides, heavy rain, storms and people cut off by disasters.
