It is recommended to proactively implement the following contents: Closely monitor developments: Localities need to closely monitor forecasts and warnings about the developments of storm NOUL and strong winds at sea to promptly notify captains, owners of vehicles and boats operating at sea. This is to help vehicles proactively prevent and have appropriate production plans, ensuring safety. Closely monitor vehicles: Pay special attention to monitoring the activities of tourist ships and boats in bays and coastal areas.
