To proactively respond to severe cold and minimize damage, on January 18, the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue of Hai Duong province requested the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue of districts, cities, towns, and related sectors to proactively direct the implementation of measures to respond to severe cold. In particular, continue to strictly implement the Prime Minister's telegram on proactively preventing prolonged severe cold.

Closely monitor forecasts and warnings about severe cold and the actual situation in the locality to promptly notify and guide authorities and people at all levels to prevent. Proactively deploy measures and plans to ensure safety for people, especially the elderly, children and students. Absolutely do not use coal stoves to heat in closed rooms to avoid unfortunate incidents that cause human losses as in some localities in recent years.

Strengthen propaganda and guidance for livestock households on hygiene, strengthening barns, covering and keeping warm, proactively stocking food to ensure prevention of hunger and cold; provide guidance on disease prevention for livestock, poultry and aquatic products; cover, shield, water, fertilize and keep moist for rice, vegetables and other crops.
