At Nam Loc Kindergarten, the floodwaters were so deep that many school supplies such as cabinets, books, etc. were wet and damaged.

On the afternoon of October 10, the Youth Union members of Nam Loc commune coordinated with the Youth Union of Nam Dan District Police to help people clean up and clear their houses and drains.

Currently, some households in Nam Loc area still cannot clean up due to heavy rain and have to depend a lot on the weather.
