Krong Ana Commune: Heavy rain causes flooding, many areas are isolated

On the evening of November 20, many areas in Krong Ana commune were deeply flooded. Among them, Binh Hoa village 6 was completely cut off and isolated.

Previously, on November 19, rising water made the road to Ea Chai Suspension Bridge through Binh Hoa Village 6 impassable, isolating all 152 households with 689 people living there. Since the morning of November 20, the village has been completely cut off from electricity. Currently, people travel back and forth by spontaneous boats.

The road connecting Ea Chai suspension bridge is deeply submerged in water.

Immediately after receiving the information, the commune authorities provided life jackets to the people to ensure safe travel. As for students, the commune supported free transportation fuel costs. From November 20, the commune temporarily suspended 53 students of the village from school due to rising water levels.

The road to the center is isolated, people go by boat to buy food and provisions.

Mr. Phan Thanh Viet, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Krong Ana Commune, said that the commune is coordinating with the electricity company to restore power if safety is ensured; otherwise, a generator support plan will be deployed to serve communication and pumping water for daily activities. In the current water shortage situation, the commune also supports the purchase of clean water to transport to serve the people. In addition, families affected by deep flooding are temporarily arranged with food and accommodation at the village hall or school.

Mr. Pham Xuan Phan, Head of Village 6, Binh Hoa shared that since the flood warning, the Party Cell and the Village Self-Management Board have called on households in the village to proactively coordinate and comply with the government's instructions to limit damage, and at the same time join hands to help families in more difficult circumstances.

However, in the context of complicated floods, people are facing many difficulties, from moving, living to protecting property and crops. I hope that local authorities will not only continue to closely monitor the situation, but also maintain practical support measures, helping people stabilize their lives as soon as possible.

Not only in Binh Hoa village 6, by the evening of November 20, the flood situation in Buon Trap was also very serious when about 40 households were deeply flooded. The water rose rapidly for two consecutive days, making people's daily life and travel difficult. Mr. Nguyen Cong Tu, a local resident, said: "This year the flood was big, the water rose rapidly. To ensure safety, all people living around the area promptly moved their valuable assets to higher ground. Everyone tried to preserve their belongings, livestock and crops, but of course many things still needed the attention and support of the local government."

As the water rose, people living in flooded areas in Buon Trap had to use boats to move around and transport their belongings.

Mr. Tu also shared that although the relocation encountered many difficulties, the people in the village still united and helped each other, especially single-parent households, families with the elderly and children, to minimize the damage caused by floods. This initiative demonstrated the spirit of solidarity and awareness of natural disaster prevention of the people here.

As of the evening of November 20, 66 houses in Krong Ana commune were flooded. All properties have been moved to higher ground to ensure safety.

In the face of heavy rain, the Commune People's Committee has issued directives and assigned relevant units to be on duty 24/7 to manage response work. At the same time, it has coordinated with the Village Self-Management Board and cooperatives to closely monitor the storm and rain developments, and guide people to implement measures to prevent flooding and protect crops and property.

Villages and hamlets were also instructed to inform people living along rivers, streams and steep hills to proactively evacuate to safe places. The commune regularly inspected vulnerable areas, reinforced them promptly and warned of landslides. Aquaculture households such as fish cages on the river were instructed to monitor flood discharge forecasts to limit damage.
