Two weeks after the historic storm and the first flash flood (July 22) and 10 days after the second flash flood (July 27), Muong Tip commune is still in chaos in mud. Many landslides have not been repaired; many collapsed houses have not been rebuilt. Many people in Ta Do village - the village that was hit by flash floods twice - are still in shock over the losses.

With the efforts of the Party Committee, the government and the support of all levels, sectors, forces, organizations and volunteers, the people of Muong Tip in general and Ta Do in particular no longer have to worry about hunger. But the question of how to rebuild collapsed and washed away roofs is still an unsolved problem.

Muong Tip Commune is currently in need of a lot of human resources and equipment to overcome the consequences of storm No. 3 and the post-storm circulation.
