On this occasion, the ward handled dozens of sump pits and wells causing flooding on Tran Quang Dieu and Truong Thi streets. The Chairman of Vinh City People's Committee also urgently allocated 500 million VND to support communes and wards (each unit 20 million VND) to purchase equipment and tools to handle flooding.

| Hung Dung Ward mobilized manpower to dredge and remove blockages caused by households filling and making walkways on the sidewalks, obstructing the flow of water on the streets. Currently, the sump pits are arbitrarily sealed by households, so to handle them effectively, equipment such as hammers and crowbars are needed. Photo: PV |

| The drainage culvert from Nai Bridge to Vinh Tan Pumping Station, the section passing through Vinh Tan New Urban Area project, has a very small aperture, so when there is heavy rain, the water drains slowly, causing flooding. Vinh City People's Committee is requesting the investor to fix and widen the culvert aperture. Photo: Nguyen Hai |

| Comrade Phan Duc Dong - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Vinh City Party Committee, and leaders of the Vinh City People's Committee directly inspected the risk of landslides at Quyet Mountain in Block 3, Trung Do Ward. The area around Quyet Mountain currently has 5 points with high risk of landslides. Previously, the city had a plan to relocate 220 households around Quyet Mountain to a place 50m below, an area of nearly 5 hectares has been planned but due to lack of funding, it has not been implemented.

| A crack appeared on Quyet mountain, right behind Mr. Do Doan Khanh's house, block 3, Trung Do ward, so the risk of landslide is very high. Immediately after the inspection, comrade Tran Ngoc Tu assigned the Chairman of Trung Do ward People's Committee to mobilize people to a safe place tonight when there is heavy rain.

| Leaders of Vinh City Party Committee and Vinh City People's Committee directly inspected the landslide risk site behind Mr. Hai's house, a citizen of Block 3, Trung Do Ward. At this location in 2019, heavy rain caused water and mud to flow through the house and collapse the back wall. Immediately after the inspection, Vinh City leaders assigned Trung Do Ward People's Committee to regularly inspect and arrange personnel on duty to organize the evacuation of people when there is heavy rain tonight (October 28) and tomorrow (October 29).
