Regardless of the unfavorable rainy weather, the forces of Chan May Port Border Guard Station, Lang Co Border Guard Station and the Command of Region 3 - Phu Loc together with the militia and commune police organized reinforcement, using wooden stakes, tarpaulins, soil and rocks to fill and consolidate the eroded riverbank, promptly ensuring safety for people in the neighboring area.

The erosion of the Bu Lu riverbank has been happening for many years and is getting more and more serious. The erosion in many sections, with a total length of about 1km, has caused dozens of households living along the river to live in a state of anxiety and insecurity. The heavy rains in recent days are continuing to cause erosion of the riverbanks here.
