TPO – By this morning, November 2, the floodwaters in the two districts of Quang Ninh and Le Thuy of Quang Binh province had basically receded, but left behind a huge amount of mud, roads, houses, offices, schools... submerged in mud.

Quang Binh province has mobilized thousands of military and police officers and soldiers to clean up the mud. The immediate priority is to clean up the flood in schools and offices.

One innovation in clearing mud is to use a plastic pipe, fill it with water, and then drag it across the floor to push the mud out. Those involved in the flood cleanup say this method of pushing mud out is much faster and less labor-intensive.

Quang Binh Provincial Youth Union also mobilized tens of thousands of union members and youths to participate in rescue, relief and flood cleanup during the recent flood.

Thanks to the cooperation of many forces, a number of schools in the two districts of Quang Ninh and Le Thuy are ready to welcome students back to school.

With the amount of mud and soil still too large, Quang Binh Provincial Youth Union launched the movement "Quang Binh Youth join hands to overcome the consequences of storm No. 6" and received enthusiastic response from many union members and young people.
