Thanh Hoa City has more than 2,000 flooded households in 24 villages and towns in 10 riverside communes and wards. As the water recedes, households proactively sweep away mud and soil, clean furniture and belongings, and collect trash.
The City Police Youth Union coordinated with the authorities, sectors, and organizations of the wards to clear mud, clean, and rearrange tables and chairs at cultural houses and schools.
Thanh Hoa Provincial Military Command directed Regiment 762 to mobilize nearly 200 officers and soldiers with Thanh Hoa City Military Command to go to the grassroots level, accompanying the people of Thieu Duong and Thieu Khanh wards in general environmental sanitation.
