Merged from 5 communes of Lien Thuy, Xuan Thuy, An Thuy, Phong Thuy, Loc Thuy and Kien Giang town, Le Thuy commune is one of the typical low-lying areas of the province. With heavy rain lasting just a few days, many residential areas can be deeply flooded. Therefore, as soon as there is a warning of an upcoming heavy rain, local authorities and people prepare means, materials and forces to promptly respond when a situation occurs. A proactive spirit and readiness to respond to floods is an important factor in minimizing damage caused by natural disasters.

Mr. Le Van Tan, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Le Thuy commune, said that, implementing the "4 on-site" motto, local authorities directly inspected and directed villages to review vulnerable areas, grasp information about the number of households in areas at risk of deep flooding to be ready to deploy evacuation plans.

At the same time, check the dyke system, embankments and key projects to promptly detect and overcome safety risks during the flood season. Local authorities recommend and guide people to proactively move their assets to high places and stock up on enough necessities for at least 3 to 5 days.
