On October 29th, leaders of the People's Committee of Dong Son commune, Quang Ngai province, visited areas isolated by flooding to provide clean water to residents.

Mr. Nguyen Tuong Duy, Secretary of the Party Committee of Dong Son commune, along with the working group of the Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control, conducted an urgent on-site inspection in Cu Lao hamlet, Chau Me village.

Recognizing the complex nature of the flooding situation, the Party Secretary and the delegation traveled directly by boat through areas with rising water levels to accurately assess the extent of the damage and implement local response measures.

Due to the low-lying terrain and lack of drainage, many areas are deeply flooded, making travel and the purchase of essential goods extremely difficult for the residents.

To provide timely assistance, the People's Committee of Dong Son commune has initially organized the provision of clean water to 132 affected households, with each household receiving a 20-liter water filter to meet their daily needs.

The head of the commune's police force was injured while helping residents evacuate.

On the morning of October 29th, in Son Tay commune ( Quang Ngai province ), several landslides occurred due to prolonged heavy rain, especially in the Uy Mang stream area (Dak Tren village), where rising water caused landslides on both banks, sweeping away people's property.

While directing the evacuation of residents and the movement of property to safety, Lieutenant Colonel Dinh Quang Tien, Chief of Police of Son Tay Commune, was unfortunately impaled by a tree branch through his right foot.
