People were grateful when police officers enthusiastically helped them escape from flooded areas.

This afternoon and evening (October 22), the local police force stationed in communes and wards in low-lying areas in Hue City made efforts to help people move their belongings and support people to cross flooded roads to ensure safety.

Due to the impact of storm No. 12, high tides combined with water from hydroelectric reservoirs being released downstream caused many low-lying areas in the downstream of the Huong River and the coastal areas of Tam Giang lagoon to be severely flooded.

Duong No ward police and forces are on duty and barricades at flooded areas.

The trips to transport people through the flooded areas of more than 2km all ensured traffic safety, with priority given to women, the elderly and children getting on the vehicles to go home first.

In a thank you letter to the Duong No Ward Police, Ms. Nguyen Nu - a local resident said: “Tonight (October 22), while I and some female workers were returning from work through the area from Dien Truong 2 Bridge to Thao Long Dam Bridge, the weather was bad, the water on Tam Giang Lagoon rose high and strong winds made it very dangerous to travel. In that situation, I was enthusiastically supported by the Duong No Ward Police, using a specialized vehicle to help me safely move through the nearly 2 km flooded section. I would like to express my deep gratitude to the officers and soldiers of Duong No Ward Police for their sense of responsibility, dedication and humane actions, which truly reflect the image of “Serving the People” of the Public Security Forces.”
