The Prime Minister requested focusing on operating and regulating reservoirs, flexibly cutting, reducing, and slowing down floods to the downstream, while ensuring safety for hydropower plants and strictly following the inter-reservoir operation procedure.
Reservoir operators must strictly follow reporting regulations, providing information to authorised agencies of localities, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Industry and Trade to help them take timely response measures in emergency circumstances.
They were requested to closely cooperate with authorities in the downstream area of the dam and relevant agencies to strictly notify and warn local people of flood developments and flood control operations, enabling them to apply preventive measures.
