Taking advantage of this opportunity, many people in highland villages such as Ba, Na Chao, Na Luong 2, Na Luong 1 in Huu Kiem commune; Cau Tam, Sao Mai, Binh Son 1, Canh villages in Ta Ca commune, Ky Son district rushed into the flood to collect wood and firewood.

To salvage large trees, many households even used motorboats to block the flood. In Ta Ca commune, not only young men but also quite old people and even children participated in salvage work.
