Use loose closed sandbags weighing from 15-20 kg on the roof.

  • Minimizing roof speed with fish bags : For houses with large roof slope, use loose closed sandbags weighing 15 - 20kg, connected by wire and placed over the roof so that sand bags are close on top of roofing sheets or adjacent edges of roofing sheets. The distance between sandbags is 1.5 m in the middle of the roof and 1 m at the edge of the roof. For houses with a small roof slope, do the same thing as above but do not need to connect the sand bags together.
  • Minimizing corrugated iron roof, fibroximang by splint : Placing on the roofs of the splints about 1.5 - 2m apart at the edge of the stack on two roofing sheets. Punch holes at the top of roof sheet, use 2mm diameter steel to tie the splint to purlins, hand blows. Use cement mortar or anti-leak glue to seal the chisel hole.
  • Minimizing roof speed, pouring roofs by bracing letter A combined with anchor wires to the ground : With corrugated iron roof, fibroximang, placing horizontal blocking bars with trees, wood and steel on the roof about 1m apart. Next place the A-braces, the top of the letter A is located at the junction between the two roofs, about 2.5 m apart from each other on the stop bar. Fasten the bar and tie with steel wire or other wires, then use steel wire or rope, anchor the A-brace to the tree piles deep into the ground from 1 - 1.5m.
  • Seal the door and openings against the draft: Install door latches, window anchors with trees to each house to prevent drafts from opening the door. Glazing the glass door with a wide tape to minimize glass breakage. Seal the gaps between the top of the wall and roof, the ventilation holes on the wall, the gable and the door.

The Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control identified a disadvantage in responding to the storm No. 16 in the southern provinces, which is flat and stormy. This is also a region that has so far been less exposed to storms, so public buildings, people's livelihoods, especially houses with low adaptability, are easily destroyed by storms.
