According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Vuong, Chairman of Tinh Khe Commune People's Committee, the whole commune has about 1,000 households living along the coast, along a 10km long coastline. The high tide combined with the storm caused initial damage to 97 households, many of which collapsed and were severely damaged.
The local government has mobilized police, militia, and soldiers to the scene to help people overcome the consequences. While waiting for a full assessment of the damage, many families have had to temporarily stay at relatives' houses, and the coastal village of An Ky is still in ruins.
