Lieutenant Colonel Ngo Van Thin, Chief of A Vuong Commune Police, said that late on October 31, the unit received a phone call from Comrade Arat BLui, Chairman of Tay Giang Commune People's Committee, about coordinating support to transfer the patient to another hospital. The patient is Emem Bling iu, born in 2014, residing in Z'ruot village, Tay Giang commune, Da Nang, suffering from acute appendicitis, discovered in an unusual location. Because the patient is young, it is very difficult to anesthetize and treat, so Tay Giang Regional Medical Center decided to transfer him to a higher level. The commune police force coordinated with local authorities to mobilize forces and means to support the family to take him to the 600-bed Da Nang Hospital.

A Vuong commune police supported and carried the patient across a heavily landslide-prone road to be transferred to the emergency hospital on the night of October 31.

At around 9:00 p.m. on October 28, Thuong Duc Commune Police received a rescue request from Ms. Nguyen Thi Huynh (Group 6, Truc Ha Village) when her house was flooded 2 meters deep, with 3 small children inside. Immediately, the commune police used a mobile boat to move across the water in the dark night to approach, remove the corrugated iron roof, and rescue the 4 mother and children who narrowly escaped, and brought them to the headquarters to avoid the disaster.
