On April 6, Chairman of Tien Giang Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Van Vinh signed a document announcing an emergency situation regarding natural disasters such as saltwater intrusion and lack of domestic water during the dry season of 2024 in Tan Phu Dong district.

The document of the Tien Giang provincial government sets out urgent measures that need to be applied immediately to respond to and overcome the consequences in order to prevent and minimize the damage caused by natural disasters. The most important task is to transport and supply water to the people in a timely manner.

The province has opened more than 100 public water taps for people to use for free. In addition, many organizations and individuals have transported charity water by truck and barge to support fresh water for people in drought-stricken areas.
