Thousands of Nghe An people volunteered to go to flooded areas to help people clean houses, shovel mud, and repair roads.

Six days after the historic floods, travel on National Highway 7A through the communes of Con Cuong, Chau Khe, and Tuong Duong is still very difficult. However, with the tradition of solidarity, sharing, and helping each other in times of trouble, people in villages and hamlets with less flooding have volunteered to go on the road, bringing with them dredging tools, washing away mud and soil, and cleaning their houses, to help the localities with more severe damage.
