Kinh Bac Ward mobilizes human resources and materials to prepare for storm No. 3

BAC NINH - Kinh Bac Ward has 13.5 km of dikes, including 9.5 km of level II dikes on the right bank of Song Cau and 4 km of dikes on the banks of Dau Han and Qua Cam. Proactively responding to storm No. 3, along with assigning specific tasks to members of the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue, and preparing supplies, the Ward People's Committee deployed a plan to mobilize shock, mobile, embankment, and express forces consisting of 144 people.

To proactively handle incidents from the first hour, the Ward's Command Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Control and Search and Rescue has prepared and gathered all kinds of supplies and backup equipment at guard posts and key points, including: 700 m3 of boulders, sand, gravel; 10,000 sacks; 200 hoes, shovels; 300 bamboo trees; 500 m2 of tarpaulin, ropes... At the same time, contracts have been signed with owners of vehicles, motor vehicles, and boats to mobilize when there is a situation.

Workers of Bac Ninh Drainage and Wastewater Treatment Joint Stock Company are on duty to prevent and fight storm No. 3.

The Ward People's Committee directed the Bac Ninh Drainage and Wastewater Treatment Joint Stock Company to increase workers on duty at urban drainage pumping stations, organize the dredging of sewers and surface water sluice gates, improve drainage capacity, and prevent local flooding in urban areas. Request the Bac Ninh Irrigation Works Exploitation Enterprise to proactively pump and drain buffer water, clear intra-field canals, and operate promptly when heavy rain causes flooding in agricultural production in the ward.

Leaders of Kinh Bac Ward People's Committee inspected preparations at the urban drainage pumping station.

It is known that with a long dike system, many weak points, landslides, the dike elevation is lower than the flood protection design, so during storm No. 3 ( Yagi ) in September 2024, in Kinh Bac ward, there were some dike overflow incidents, dozens of households had to be moved to safe shelters. Previously, in 2023, at the Van Phuc embankment location, there was a landslide and subsidence of the right bank of the Cau River, causing 15 houses to collapse.
