As the water began to recede, EVNHANOI deployed working groups to move quickly to the affected areas. In addition, EVNHANOI promptly issued recommendations reminding people to cut off household electricity when there is a risk of flooding, not to touch electrical equipment with wet hands or walk barefoot on wet floors.
