Efforts to overcome the consequences of heavy rain causing mudslides in Tuy Phong

As of noon on November 2, authorities were still trying to overcome the consequences of prolonged heavy rain in the upstream area, causing water from Tang Lai, Ho Tao, Suoi Mang - Cay Ca streams and Long Song lake to flow strongly, causing mud and soil flooding in many residential areas.

At the scene, dozens of apple orchards were uprooted, many electric poles and rice fields were swept away by the floodwaters and buried in thick mud. Many houses were submerged in mud 20-30 cm deep, with furniture severely damaged.

Ms. Nguyen Thi Ho, a resident of village 2, said in tears: "Everything is ruined. Hundreds of tons of rice that were just harvested were submerged in water, and all belongings were swept away, leaving nothing behind."

For the people of village 2, Tuy Phong commune, this is the second time the flood has occurred, but the damage was more severe than on October 2.

According to initial statistics, many areas of agricultural land and crops in Tuy Tinh 1, Tuy Tinh 2 and village 2 were severely affected. The initial cause was determined to be due to prolonged heavy rain, combined with the broken reservoir of Viet Phong Phu Farm Trading Company Limited, plus steep terrain and small drainage system, causing water to quickly rush downstream, causing flooding, landslides and damage to a number of irrigation works and rural roads.

The electric pole crane was broken.

Ms. Nguyen Nu Thanh Loan, representative of the local government, said: The Standing Party Committee and the People's Committee of the commune have directed the Civil Defense Command to directly inspect and support people in moving their assets to a safe place; at the same time, mobilize local forces to coordinate with specialized units to regulate the flow and fix the incident. The locality also established 6 working groups in charge of checking the cause, calculating the damage, repairing infrastructure, logistics and disinfecting, helping people to soon stabilize their lives.
