(HBO) – Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoa Binh province Nguyen Van Quang on October 16 inspected and directed efforts to overcome flood aftermaths in Coi 2 hamlet of Suoi Nanh commune and Nhap hamlet of Dong Ruong commune of Da Bac district.

He was accompanied by leaders of provincial police, military high command, departments of natural resources and environment, labour, invalids and social affairs, agriculture and rural development, information and communications, and provincial people’s committee office.

 The devastated floods last week killed six people and left five others missing and nine injured in Da Bac. The floods, causing landslides, have destroyed hundreds of houses, forcing dozens of families living in temporary homes. Local infrastructure, including transportation, irrigation, electricity and telecommunication, has suffered severe damage. Many inter-communal roads were shut down, leaving several communes isolated. So that recovery efforts to affected people have faced many difficulties.

 The district estimated that about 345 households are living in high-risk areas, requiring urgent evacuation to safer places. Coi 2 hamlet of Suoi Nanh commune was hard hit where 10 houses were fully destroyed and over 70 others need to be relocated. The floods closed road No. 433 leading to the commune so help had to come to the commune by waterway. In Nhap hamlet, 25 affected families have to live temporarily on boats, their lives faced many difficulties.

 State agencies, organisations and authorities of Da Bac district sent delegations to address the situation, provide support to flood-hit communes and move at-risk people to safer places.
