Continue to overcome flooding in Ha Hoa

After more than a week of being affected by storm No. 3, as of September 17, in Ha Hoa district, the water level on Thao river is below alert level I. In the entire district, only Hien Luong commune has 6 flooded areas with 55 households and 182 people isolated.

People use field pumps to drain water and prevent flooding in Hien Luong commune.

The reason for the slow water drainage is due to the low-lying flooded area, the drainage system in the commune is small, the water flow is slow, mainly through Ngoi My drainage culvert. The district People's Committee directed the commune to focus on human resources and materials to support enough food, drinking water, and necessary necessities to ensure the lives of people in the flooded area.

In areas where the water has receded, 4,256/4,311 households have returned to their homes, but localized flooding is still occurring in many areas. At flooded areas, the district has mobilized over 10 field pumps to operate at full capacity; opened all 56 sluices under the dike and operated pumping stations such as Ngoi Trang, Cau Den, Yen Luat pumping stations... to drain and prevent flooding.
