Environmental pollution treatment
Although the rain in Da Nang has stopped this morning and some areas have receded, many residential areas in Da Nang are still deeply flooded. The "flood center" area on Me Suot Street, Hoa Khanh Nam Ward, Lien Chieu District, is still submerged in water. In particular, in the alleys on Me Suot Street, the water is still up to 1 meter deep, with some spots being over 1.2-1.3 meters. Along the approximately 700 meter length of the street, many houses and shops are still flooded, and evacuated residents have not been able to return.
According to the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Search and Rescue and Civil Defense of Da Nang City, from October 12 to 7:30 a.m. on October 15, there was very heavy rain in Da Nang City.
Due to heavy rain, localized flooding occurred in some roads and low-lying areas in the city, with water depths of 30-50 cm, and in some places 100-150 cm (about 48/57 communes and wards were flooded). Nearly 6,500 people in vulnerable areas were evacuated to high, safe places. Heavy rain damaged dozens of hectares of vegetables, and many aquaculture ponds and livestock were swept away. Warning from October 15 to October 17, a flood is likely to occur on the Vu Gia River and rivers in Da Nang City.
This morning, taking advantage of the rain to stop, the environmental sanitation workers went out to clean up and collect garbage on all flooded streets and residential areas, especially the garbage that washed up after heavy rain at Nguyen Tat Thanh beach.
Ms. Hoang Thi Ngoc Hieu - Deputy General Director of Da Nang Urban Environment Joint Stock Company said that from 6am this morning, environmental workers from all districts have focused on general cleaning in the assigned areas. The collection and transportation of all mud, garbage, waste soil, and bulky waste arising after the storm on the streets is being carried out urgently to prevent prolonged heavy rains with the spirit that wherever the water recedes, the inlet must be clean and clear.
“Thanks to the proactive response of the authorities and the people, the amount of garbage generated this year is not much, mainly garbage washed up on the sea after heavy rains. In addition, the units have been collecting garbage normally in the past few days in areas that are not flooded. Only for flooded areas, we are temporarily waiting for the water to recede because vehicles and workers have not been able to enter yet.” - Ms. Hieu said.
Hai Van Pass has reopened to traffic.
