Set up a makeshift shelter and evacuate 115 residents of Kho Vang to a safe place.

On the afternoon of September 15, Mr. Nguyen Van Tuan, Chairman of the People's Committee of Coc Lau Commune (Bac Ha District, Lao Cai Province) said that on September 14, Lao Cai Provincial Police coordinated with the People's Committee of Bac Ha District and the People's Committee of Coc Lau Commune to directly survey the terrain of some areas in Kho Vang village.

This temporary housing area will be for people to stay temporarily to avoid landslides.

Authorities are coordinating to set up temporary tents to help people get down the mountain safely.

According to the Chairman of the People's Committee of Coc Lau commune, with this temporary housing area, in about 3 days, 115 people from Kho Vang village who are setting up tents on the hill will be moved down.

"Today, we invited the head of Kho Vang village to come down to see if the temporary housing area is lacking anything to continue investing and rebuilding. Only when essential needs are met will the households be moved down. Because they are staying long-term, they cannot be temporary," added Mr. Tuan.

Temporary shelter for 115 people in Kho Vang village (Coc Lau commune, Bac Ha district) to avoid floods.

Previously, as Giao Thong Newspaper reported on the morning of September 9, when seeing heavy rain for many days with no sign of stopping, Kho Vang village chief Ma Seo Chu mobilized 7 young men in the village to form a group to inspect around the hill above the village.

The inspection discovered a crack 20cm wide and about 30m long, so the villagers were encouraged to build shelters and evacuate. This action helped 115 people in the village to be safe.
