In Hai Phong's coastal areas, including Do Son ward and Cat Ba special zone, level 6 winds with level 8 gusts and rain were observed. To ensure public safety, authorities banned recreational activities and swimming. However, coastal businesses continued operations as usual. Tran Khac Dat, 34, from Do Son district, explained that the typhoon's distance and low tide meant no large waves, so businesses did not need to reinforce or close.
