It is predicted to make landfall early morning Sunday. The Central Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control has issued several urgent solutions to deal with the storm both on shore and at sea. By 6pm local time Friday, more than 1,500 vessels with more than 10 thousand people will still be operating in the area and be threatened by the storm.
The Central Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control has required relevant parties to urge the vessels find shelter as soon as possible. As strong winds continue to blow in the South Central area, the Central Steering Committee has requested localities take action based on the actual situation and implement a sea ban.
On Friday morning, there was heavy rain in the South Central region. Measures to deal with Storm Usagi were deployed immediately after the online meeting with the Central Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control. Local leaders of storm-prone provinces visited the affected areas, urging people to reinforce their homes and secure their property.
The provinces require households in the affected area to evacuate while implementing measures to ensure the safety of dams and avoid the threat of landslides and flash floods. As the area has a large fleet of fishing vessels, provinces have called for boats to find shelter and have resolved to relocate labor in aquaculture farming cages to safe places.
