Ms. Nguyen Vu Tra My, Director of Viettel Da Nang, said that with many years of experience in responding to storms and major floods, Viettel has implemented effective information prevention and response measures during the recent flood.

During this historic flood, at some point in Da Nang, 4-5% of Viettel's broadcasting stations had their services interrupted. Up to now, the unit has deployed forces to find a way to approach and handle the situation.

Before the storm No. 12 and this flood, Viettel Da Nang mobilized more than 350 local employees and added more than 100 employees from other provinces and many vehicles, boats, and engines to ensure the network infrastructure.

In particular, Viettel ensures satellite transmission systems and uses drone systems to ensure communications in landslide and inaccessible areas, thereby speeding up communications assurance work.

In addition, with the support of Military Region 5, the Military Command of the regions and local authorities, Viettel has more means to move and access flooded and isolated areas, thereby maintaining the communication network for the people.

In the coming time, Viettel will proactively develop plans and mobilize maximum forces and means to fix problems at broadcasting stations and ensure communication infrastructure as soon as the water recedes.

At the same time, Viettel also prepares equipment, modems and technical staff to promptly support replacement for customers in flooded areas, helping people to soon use the service again.

Viettel Da Nang said it has provided emergency support to customers in flooded and isolated areas. Specifically, postpaid subscribers are suspended from blocking to ensure communication. For prepaid subscribers, Viettel automatically adds 20,000 VND (10,000 VND for calls and 10,000 VND for data) so that customers can contact in emergency situations. In addition, all customers in this area will receive promotions and double the usage traffic when recharging their cards.
