According to Hanoi City Statistics, Typhoon Yagi and its aftermath caused more than 40,000 trees to break or fall. Of these, more than 13,600 urban trees were broken or fallen. The rest were trees managed by districts, towns, and cities, and trees in urban areas, agencies, and units.

A week after Typhoon Yagi , fallen trees are still strewn across the streets of central Hanoi. In the photo is an uprooted tree on Tran Nhat Duat Street (Hoan Kiem District) being handled by local residents and forces.

According to the Hanoi Department of Construction, despite mobilizing 100% of the forces and equipment of the units, along with support from the armed forces and provinces, the number of damaged trees was too large, and the relocation did not meet the requirements.

Hanoi Green Park Company said that the unit is currently receiving support from Green Park Companies of Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang , Vinh (Nghe An), Dong Hoi (Quang Binh), Son La, Quy Nhon, and Hue.

The above companies, all members of the Vietnam Parks and Trees Association, have sent forces to Hanoi to work together to clear and collect fallen trees after the storm since September 9.

Receiving an urgent order at night, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Chi (43 years old, Han Loc Construction Joint Stock Company, Da Nang) and 20 workers and experienced technical staff set out for the capital.

They brought 4 locomotives and all kinds of equipment, quickly cutting down damaged trees and clearing fallen trees in Hoan Kiem and Ba Dinh districts.

“This is the first time I have seen so many trees fall down. We replanted the trees that had no damaged roots and were likely to survive,” said Mr. Chi.

Mr. Chi said the working group was divided into many shifts, working continuously day and night. Although tired, he hopes to help Hanoi regain its green color soon.

"We have not set a date to return to Da Nang yet. We will only return home after our mission is completed," said the male worker.

In the days after storm No. 3, heavy rain in Hanoi greatly affected the work of handling fallen trees.

“Even though it rains, we still handle fallen trees as usual. After clearing the large tree trunks, we will go and dump the leaves in the evening, sometimes it takes several hours and we won’t be back until night,” said Nguyen Linh Hong (41 years old, Da Nang Green Park Company).
