On the morning of 30/0, the police of flooded communes and wards quickly took advantage of available generators, and at the same time advised local authorities to mobilize and mobilize more generators from people, businesses and support the supply of oil so that "zero-dong charging stations" could reach flooded areas...

In the face of prolonged floods that have isolated many areas in Hue City, causing widespread power outages. When the phone runs out of battery, contacting relatives becomes the biggest concern for people in heavily flooded areas. Based on this reality, Hue City Police has just launched the "Mobile Phone Charging" model - a simple but humane initiative, helping people maintain connections during severe rainy and flood days.

Vy Da Ward Police lent people spare chargers and arranged charging points at the community center on the evening of October 29.

Major General Nguyen Thanh Tuan, Director of Hue City Police, said: "In a natural disaster, ensuring life safety is the most important thing, but maintaining communication is also a key factor for people to feel secure and for the authorities to grasp and support in a timely manner. Therefore, the leaders of the City Police directed the police of communes and wards to proactively bring electricity to where people need it, absolutely not letting people risk their lives crossing floods to charge their phones."

Huong Tra ward police are activating generators for people to charge their cell phones.

People of Huong Tra ward are taking advantage of the "Mobile phone charging" model that the ward police have just deployed.

This morning, October 30, the police of flooded communes and wards quickly deployed. The units took advantage of available generators, and at the same time advised the local authorities to mobilize and mobilize more generators from people, businesses and support the supply of fuel so that the "zero-cost charging stations" could operate continuously.

By canoe or specialized vehicle, police officers and soldiers carry generators to each isolated residential area, announcing the time and location with portable battery speakers. Each charging point lasts about 1-2 hours, just enough for households to charge their phones and maintain necessary contact.

In Duong No ward (Hue city), Mrs. Nguyen Thi Tam, 62 years old, emotionally said: "The electricity has been out for the past few days, my phone ran out of battery, I was worried about my children in the street. Hearing the loudspeaker announcing that the police had come to charge the battery, I and the people in the heavily flooded area were very happy. Having a phone allows us to keep in touch with each other."

Witnessing the image of police officers in drenched shirts, patiently sitting next to generators in the floodwaters, carefully charging each phone for the people, many people could not help but be moved.

A police officer from Vy Da ward said that many people were able to call their relatives, only in time to inform them: "Mom and the whole family are safe". Many students from Nghe An and Gia Lai, as soon as they were able to charge their phones, called their families and happily said: "I have been moved out of my rented room and to a safe place". "Just hearing that makes us very happy with the work we are doing", this officer confided.
