Representative of the fund handed over automatic rain gauge systems to the localities.

The Fund for Community-based Natural Disaster Prevention launched a programme to install 65 automatic rain gauge systems in 65 communes of Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Cao Bang, Son La, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa and Nghe An provinces. To date, the installation of all systems has been completed.

The programme was carried out for 40 days, starting from May 20. The date for completion of installation and start of operation was June 26, which was 20 days ahead of schedule. Total cost of the programme was 2.47 trillion VND (106.58 million USD).

Each system comprises of a rain gauge sensor; data collection, processing and transmission sub-system and a technical box; a rain gauge tripod mast; a management and monitoring programme for data transmission, and a smart phone app.

In Hoa Binh, 10 systems were installed in the districts of Cao Phong, Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Lac Son, Yen Thuy, Kim Boi, Luong Son and Da Bac.

After the installation, the automatic rain gauge systems in the localities were put into operation.

At the event, leaders of the fund asked the localities to make full use of the automatic rain gauge systems in order to issue early warnings, helping local people take the initiative during flooding and rainy seasons and minimise damage of natural disasters.

Furthermore, maintenance is crucial to ensure long-standing effects of the systems, and the localities should work to raise people’s awareness of the activities of the rain gauge stations, thus they will understand and help to maintain the systems.

The localities were also asked to submit reports to the fund after one year of use, for assessment of the system’s efficiency; as well as work with the fund to improve disaster preparedness for local residents in the coming year./.
