Staff of the DMPTC introduced and directly presented the functions on the VNDMS System..
In particular, delegates were very interested in the command and control support function on VNDMS, which connects directly to storm path data and can provide different scenarios for the storm, thereby identifying objects that are likely to be affected by the storm.

Talking with delegates from the Philippines and Thailand, their countries also have systems to monitor the status of some types of natural disasters but they are not fully connected like VNDMS, and they are not yet able to provide storm forecast scenarios like Vietnam - this is practical content that other countries want to learn and want to build a system like Vietnam's.
At the end of the visit to the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, the delegates thanked the Deputy Director for the reception and hoped to continue to exchange and share more experiences in building and operating the VNDMS System./.
