| Along the Hoi stream in Ang village (Xa Luong commune - Tuong Duong) is the production area of 54 households. They are all people who have come here for decades to build livestock farms and cultivate fields. However, the risk of landslides and flash floods is always a concern during the rainy season because the water in Hoi stream rises and flows very dangerously fast.

| Mr. Quang Van Tien, an old farmer who came here to produce since 2000, said that every time it rains, rocks and soil from the mountains cause serious landslides. Meanwhile, the villagers take shelter along both sides of the stream, their lives and property are threatened but they still have to try to stay for a living. Photo: Dao Tho |

Everyone was startled and ran out to see, only to see this rock rolling down only a few meters from where Mr. Loc Van Tuan lived" - Mr. Tien added. Photo: Dao Tho |

| Most of the households here dig ponds to raise fish along the stream to earn extra income, but when the flood came, they all suffered losses. According to calculations, in the recent flood, 11 households outside Khe Hoi lost tons of fish. Photo: Dao Tho |

| After the flood, people used bamboo pipes to lead water into the pond to continue the fishing season. "If we don't raise fish, we have nothing to eat because every year when the weather is favorable, we can earn tens of millions," said Mr. Vi Van Tam. Photo: Dao Tho |

| In addition to digging fish ponds and planting forests, households in Khe Hoi also increase the number of free-range black pigs to sell in time for Tet. Photo: Dao Tho |
