In Tay Nha Trang ward, the flood center in the central area of the provincial capital (where many people called for help on social networks on November 19-20), after the water receded, people from evacuation points returned and quickly started cleaning their houses.
The house was flooded nearly 1 meter deep, almost all the groceries were wet. While pushing the mud out of the house and picking up the cakes that fell on the floor, Ms. Nguyen Thi An, Tay Nha Trang ward shared: It's good that we still have people. I give the wet groceries that are still edible to the neighbors, and throw away the spoiled ones. As long as I clean up the house, then start over.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Thanh, Group 4, Ngoc Hoi, Tay Nha Trang Ward, when cleaning her house, only kept valuable items. As for her children's books that had been soaked in the flood for many days, Ms. Thanh was forced to throw them away.
“The water was more than 2 meters deep at the boarding house, so everything was wet. When the water receded, we cleaned up so we could have a place to sleep,” said Ms. Thanh.
After the flood, many people's belongings were damaged. Many wooden furniture, mattresses, and pillows were wet and thrown all over the streets, piled up in high piles. Mr. Nguyen Hong Thanh, General Director of Nha Trang Urban Environment Joint Stock Company, informed: Most of the company's workers are in flooded areas. Therefore, mobilizing human resources to clean up the environment is still difficult. With the amount of waste 3 times more than usual, about 18 tons/day, the company's workers have to work 24/7 to clean up.
"The waste is mostly damaged furniture and many dangerous items such as pieces of mirror, glass, iron doors, and sharp objects. Therefore, the company also thoroughly implements the spirit of labor safety for workers as the top priority," said Mr. Thanh.
Currently, Nha Trang beach area, Tay Nha Trang ward are "hot spots" of waste, units are working day and night to soon restore the beauty of Nha Trang beach city. Tonight, Ho Chi Minh City will send people and vehicles to support Khanh Hoa province to clean up the environment and overcome the consequences of flooding.
Together with the forces, the youth union members of Khanh Hoa province also actively participated in activities to clean up residential areas and Nha Trang beaches that were flooded with garbage. Mr. Quang Dai Thanh, a youth of Nha Trang ward, said, promoting the spirit of youth volunteers, we participated in environmental sanitation to help people clean their houses and beaches to quickly return the green and clean landscape to the people, reduce environmental pollution, and prevent related epidemic situations from arising after the water recedes.
Khanh Provincial Youth Union also mobilized nearly 1,000 union members, youth, pupils and students in unaffected areas to participate in general environmental cleaning so that Nha Trang tourist beach can soon be clean and beautiful again, and people can soon stabilize their spirit and return to work and work normally.
After rescuing people from flooded areas, military units quickly dispatched medical forces to spray disinfectant in flooded areas, limiting the risk of disease outbreaks after the water receded. Currently, the military has also increased its troops and vehicles to deep flooded areas; coordinated with local authorities to clear sewers, collect garbage, and clean the environment, contributing to helping people stabilize their lives soon.
Regarding environmental issues, on the morning of November 22, while visiting and encouraging people in the flooded area of Dien Dien and working with the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee on overcoming the consequences of floods, Politburo member and Standing member of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu requested Khanh Hoa province to arrange functional forces, human resources, and means to support people in overcoming the consequences according to the motto "4 on-site", "restore as soon as the water recedes"; urgently repair and restore essential infrastructure (transportation, electricity, water, communications, urgent civil works...).
