In addition, Ward Police officers also promptly took 2 cases of kidney dialysis and 1 case of appendicitis to the hospital.

In Phu Xuan ward, the ward police received a phone call from the husband of Ms. Tran Thi Ngoc Nhi (born 2001, residing at 30 Phung Khac Khoan, Phu Xuan ward) informing that his wife was 39 weeks pregnant and in labor, but the area where his family lived was flooded more than 1.5m deep and could not be moved.

Dozens of patients were promptly taken to the emergency room by the police, many traffic routes were congested and paralyzed -1 — The delegation of the City People's Committee and Director of Hue City Police Major General Nguyen Thanh Tuan inspected the scene of the bridge pier collapse and landslide in the old Nam Dong district, Hue City.

Immediately after receiving the information, in the heavy rain, many roads were cut off, officers of Phu Xuan Ward Police crossed the flood, used a small boat to approach the house and brought Nhi out of the deep flooded area. Thanks to the timely support, Nhi was transferred to an ambulance and taken to the hospital.

On November 3, Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee Phan Thien Dinh; Major General Nguyen Thanh Tuan, Director of Hue City Police and representatives of relevant departments and branches inspected the field at some landslide areas and vulnerable areas in Nam Dong district (old).

The delegation inspected the Phu Mau bridge abutment (Km20+25, Khe Tre commune), the entire structure under the bridge was washed away by rising floodwaters. At the Leno bridge area, connecting Khe Tre and Nam Dong communes, the high water level also eroded and collapsed the bridge foot.

The delegation also surveyed several other landslide sites and inspected the cracked hill area in K'Long village in Long Quang commune, which is at high risk of landslides after many days of heavy rain. The soil and rocks around this area have shown signs of sliding and sinking, threatening the safety of the residential area below. The main cause is that prolonged heavy rains have weakened the ground, creating cracks and a high risk of landslides.

Chairman of Hue City People's Committee Phan Thien Dinh requested functional forces to urgently review and assess the level of landslides and the risk of impact on residents, and proactively prepare evacuation plans to ensure absolute safety for people in high-risk areas.

“In the face of the complicated situation of floods, especially when the water level of rivers continues to rise and the rains in mountainous areas continue to last, the city has directed to increase food support for remote areas and areas at risk of being isolated. Forces are urgently deploying response measures to ensure the safety of the people,” said Chairman of Hue City People’s Committee Phan Thien Dinh.
