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.

homes, in Dong Ruong commune.
A house was fully destroyed by floods at Co 2 hamlet,
Suoi Nanh commune.
Quang asked authorities of Da Bac district to closely coordinate with relevant departments to assess landslide risks and deploy measures to ensure safety for people here. At first, the communes must actively evacuate people from high-risk areas to safe places, or at the offices, schools and communal health stations; help people losing homes by allowing them to share roof with others; and provide them with timely support to overcome difficulties and return to normal life.
