Tan Ky: Checking floods and giving necessities to people in isolated areas

On the night of September 30, heavy rain combined with a large amount of water flowing from upstream caused the water level of the Con River in Tan Ky district to rise, flooding hundreds of houses along the river. National Highway 48E from Dien Nam intersection, Ky Tan commune to Tan Long commune was deeply submerged in water, completely cutting off traffic. According to the statistics, Tan Ky had 1,326 houses flooded.

That very night, the Tan Ky District Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Control and Search and Rescue and local authorities directed the disaster prevention and control shock force to assist in evacuating more than 300 households in flooded areas to safety.
