The green-uniformed soldiers stayed with the people in the flooded areas until the work was finished.

Although not directly affected by the flood, the landslide also caused the house of Mr. Luong Van Thang, Son Thanh village, Ta Ca commune to be urgently evacuated. In addition to his family, 30 other households were also in danger of having to evacuate. Although the house was isolated, fortunately, Mr. Thang's family was helped by officers and soldiers of the Nghe An Border Guard to dismantle the house and take it to a safe place. With no place to live, the soldiers built a temporary house for his family to eat and stay while waiting for resettlement to a new place.

At the same time, we are helping people build temporary houses to live in. The soldiers in green uniforms will not let people go hungry and cold and will stay with them until we finish our work before returning."
