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

Not directly affected by the flood, but 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 a dangerous situation and had to be evacuated. The house was deserted, but fortunately, Mr. Thang's family was helped by officers and soldiers of 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 in 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."
