real investigation in the locality, the terrain of Phuc San commune is mainly
mountainous, with a dense network of rivers and streams. The commune does not

Disaster Prevention and Rescue already held a meeting to discuss, set up and
implement the motto "4 right at the area” to all the local people and members.

guide people to move to safe places, which have been surveyed previously by the
Group, assigning the staff who will be in charge of the area, to closely follow
the grassroots to help the local people actively handle sudden and unexpected
situations, to arrange the blocking force at two underground ends, preventing
people from moving when flood water rises, making the fullest use of manpower
and material resources to limit the damage to manpower and property of the
local people.
