Schools open for people to bring their vehicles to avoid flooding and take shelter from storms. Fengshen is free.

Amidst the complicated developments of heavy rains caused by storm Fengshen (storm No. 12), the opening of an elementary school in the center of Da Nang City for people to park their vehicles and take shelter from the storm for free touched many people.

Beautiful gesture in the stormy season

On October 22, Vo Thi Sau Primary School (Hai Chau Ward, Da Nang City) posted a notice on the school's fanpage with the content: "Support for cars and motorbikes to avoid flooding". While people in the center of Da Nang City were rushing to find parking to avoid storm Fengshen (storm No. 12), just a few hours after posting, the post received hundreds of shares and countless sincere thanks from the online community.

Vo Thi Sau Primary School is located in a high position, which was "steady" during the historic rain on October 14, 2022, so many people come here to park their vehicles to avoid property damage.

A representative of the school's Board of Directors shared: "The school is located on a high ground and is not flooded, so we thought we could help the people somewhat. A flooded vehicle will be very expensive to repair, especially a car. Therefore, the school decided to open the school for people to park their vehicles to avoid flooding, just hoping that the people will be safe and there will be less damage."

The school also carefully reminds people when parking to move slowly, line up their vehicles according to the security guard's instructions, and leave a contact phone number. The school provides parking completely free of charge and does not accept any support from the people.
