Statistics released by Mai Chau’s project management board show that in 2018, the district had 15 facilities affected by torrential rains and floods.

To ensure human and property safety, and minimise losses caused by the natural disasters, all-level Party committees and authorities and localities in Mai Chau have coordinated with road management agencies to inspect roads and dykes vulnerable to landslides.

Apart from reinforcing the roads and dykes, they cleared up sewerages, planted warning boards and stepped up the information work.

They have paid special attention to areas hit hard during last year’s flood season like Cun Pheo, Xam Khoe, Pieng Ve and Bao La communes.

The district has asked communes to coordinate with relevant forces and locals to supervise and reinforce routes connecting fields, dykes and canals in hamlets and villages.

Competent forces have promptly handled landslide-hit areas to ensure travelling of locals. Besides, communes have provided materials and human resources for the upgrading of facilities affected by landslides.

The repair of key facilities has also been sped up, with a total of 14 facilities reinforced.
