A shining example in the flood-hit area of ​​Hung Loi

Residential Flood Alert Initiative

Hung Loi is a commune in the low-lying area of ​​Hung Nguyen district. The commune has 3 hamlets, with more than 400 households living outside the Ta Lam dike. Every year, floods often threaten and isolate these households... In the most recent flood that occurred in October 2022, the water level rose over 1 meter, all residents of hamlets 1, 2 and part of hamlet 3, Hung Loi commune had to urgently evacuate. Like many previous flood seasons, the district armed forces and commune militia played the role of "saviors", trying to evacuate, search and rescue to bring people to safety.

The flood has passed but the worries remain. Comrade Le Ngoc Lam - Commander of the Military Command of Hung Loi commune is constantly wondering how to change the mentality of "waiting until the flood reaches your feet before jumping" of the local people, to avoid the situation where during the rainy season, the authorities have to go to each house to persuade and propagate people to evacuate. If there is no proactive prevention and control, at some point a catastrophic accident will occur.

Stemming from that concern, in 2023, comrade Le Ngoc Lam had the initiative "Flood alarm in residential areas to serve the task of natural disaster prevention, control - search and rescue" to overcome the above situation.

Comrade Le Ngoc Lam said: In essence, this is an electronic device that measures the rising water level of the river, used when bad, extreme weather occurs. When the river water rises to a dangerous level, the smart chip in this device will process the information and transmit the signal to the internal broadcasting system of the hamlets and communes of Hung Loi. At this time, the broadcasting system will broadcast alarm sirens so that people can proactively evacuate people and property before the floodwaters rise. The authorities will also promptly handle the situation, avoiding surprises."

The initiative "Flood warning in residential areas to serve the task of natural disaster prevention and control - search and rescue" by comrade Le Ngoc Lam has contributed to helping the people of Hung Loi commune better prevent and control annual floods. It is known that this initiative was awarded the Second Prize by the Military Command of Hung Nguyen district in the Competition of Innovation, Improvement of Training Equipment Models in 2023 and was recognized by the Provincial Military Command as an effective initiative with high applicability at the provincial competition.

Previously, at the Competition for Innovation and Improvement of Training Equipment Models organized by the Military Command of Hung Nguyen District in 2022, comrade Le Ngoc Lam had another initiative that won First Prize, which was the initiative "Mobile Shelter for Training and Prevention of Covid-19 Epidemic". With this initiative, the mobile shelter was "simplified" in the process of transportation and assembly.

A shining example of competitive spirit

In Hung Loi commune, Commander of the Military Command Le Ngoc Lam is not only an innovator but also an example of the emulation spirit in performing well the military and defense tasks in the locality.

Mr. Tho currently has his eldest son, Phan Van Thanh, who is enlisted in the army and stationed in Da Nang. Mr. Phan Van Tho expressed: "The family is very grateful to the District Military Command for providing financial support, the Commune Military Command for helping with working days and materials so that the family can have a new, sturdy house... In Hung Loi commune, not only my family but many other families with children enlisted in the army also receive support and assistance from the Commune Military Command".
