For households living in old apartment buildings, storm prevention is a constant task. Like Mr. Dao Xuan Han, 76 years old, who has lived in apartment number 233, B6 for more than 40 years. The kitchen and bathroom are the most degraded, so they have to be covered with ceilings. But rainwater seeps down, wearing away the wooden panels. Photo by Nhat Lan |

According to Mr. Nguyen Van Hien, head of the residential group of building B6, when the ward People's Committee announced, all apartment buildings implemented storm prevention plans. That is, bracing high-risk areas, removing peeling walls and ceilings, and tying up water tanks on the top floors. As for households expanding tiger cages, in addition to the bracing requirements, they were also reminded not to stay overnight there.
