In recent days, due to the impact of heavy rains and floods, 5/6 villages in Thanh Nghi commune (Thanh Liem) have been flooded. Rising floodwaters have caused people to live in extreme poverty, many households have had to evacuate to stay temporarily with relatives while waiting for the water to recede.
Bong Lang village has about 1,250 households living here, this is one of the most seriously flooded areas in Thanh Nghi commune, the water level on the afternoon of September 11 exceeded half a person. The deeper into the village, the water level exceeded the head of a person, in some places it was 2m deep, causing countless difficulties for the people here. Although he seemed to be used to the scene of "flood escape", Mr. Tran Van Doanh, living in team 6, Bong Lang village, was still shocked, he shared: With the direction, guidance, and propaganda of the Commune People's Committee, two days ago we prepared necessary supplies, raised household items high, leaving only essential items for the day of the flood. On the morning of September 10, due to prolonged rain, the water began to rise, the roads were surrounded by "sea of water", life became more difficult. Although my house was the least flooded, it still caused many inconveniences due to power outages and difficulty in traveling.
Ms. Dinh Thi Thu, in Team 4, Bong Lang village, said: My family's house is now flooded up to my waist. To ensure safety, my family had to evacuate to higher ground, but because we were in a hurry to escape the flood, everything was makeshift, and daily life was very difficult and deprived. My family, like the people of Thanh Nghi, just hope that the flood waters will recede quickly so that we can return to normal life.
According to the report of Thanh Nghi Commune People's Committee, due to the impact of heavy rain and floods, the entire dyke area of Nham Kenh and Dai Bai villages was flooded; the entire Bong Lang village was flooded from 1.2-2m, team 4 of Thanh Bong village was flooded from 0.8-1m; Nui hamlet 1-1.4m. Heavy rain and floods affected 1,450 households with 4,325 people; 16 works, such as schools, medical stations, cultural houses, etc. were flooded; 13.68 hectares of aquaculture were flooded; 38 hectares of crops were completely lost. Due to the prolonged heavy rain and widespread flooding, schools in Thanh Nghi commune have allowed students to stay home to ensure safety. Workers living in flooded areas were also affected because the flood water rose in many places, forcing them to travel by corrugated iron boats, which was difficult and unsafe due to the boats capsizing.
Faced with the complicated developments of floods, the People's Committee of Thanh Nghi commune has urgently deployed response work, proposing many solutions, such as: propagating and mobilizing the evacuation of 140 households and many valuable assets and moving assets of 31 kiosks of Bong Lang market to safe places; ensuring the safety of livestock and poultry of people in the flooded area. The commune government and people have organized to build flood control walls in low-lying residential areas, completely clearing culverts across the road; mobilized 2 excavators, 3 cars to transport about 150m3 of soil, rock, and sand to build banks, and pack them to prevent floods in the area of Team 6 of Bong Lang village; equipped 10 corrugated iron boats and 10 sets of rain boots to serve flood prevention and control work.
Mr. Le Quy Hoach, Chairman of Thanh Nghi Commune, said: The floods have caused great damage to the people in the commune. To proactively respond to the floods, the Commune's Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue has met to discuss plans to proactively prevent and combat floods; regularly disseminate information about the flood situation on the commune's radio system and information by cars of the commune's police force; coordinate with the provincial and district police and military forces and local forces to help people move people and property and participate in rescue. Xuan Thanh Cement Joint Stock Company, a local enterprise, has supported the people of Thanh Nghi Commune with 200 boxes of instant noodles and 200 boxes of drinking water during the difficult time of floods.
In the coming days, the People's Committee of Thanh Nghi commune will continue to direct the strengthening of inspection and close monitoring of flood developments; strictly implement regulations on standing and on-duty as prescribed and ensure the work of patrolling and guarding the dikes; at the same time, mobilize shock forces to strengthen inspection of the dike system, ready to support people in evacuating people, property and livestock to safety.
