“Reviewing critical points, My Duc prepares for heavy rain and storm number 3”
Amid the complex developments of Storm No. 3, My Duc commune (Hanoi) has established inspection teams for areas at risk of landslides, dyke breaches, and critical drainage canals… to proactively respond under the “four on-the-spot” principle.
Comprehensive review of high-risk areas
On the afternoon of July 20, immediately after warnings about the potential direct impact of Storm No. 3 on the Northern region, My Duc commune quickly formed two on-site inspection teams to assess key locations.
The first team, led by the Chairman of the commune People’s Committee, inspected dyke sections at risk of landslides in Hop Thanh and An Phu. These areas border residential zones, have steep terrain, and were affected by a storm on the evening of July 19, which caused trees to fall and weakened the ground.
On-site, the team directed local forces to set up barriers, install warning signs, clear visibility obstructions, and quickly remove fallen trees to ensure residents’ safety in case of heavy rain and strong winds.
Simultaneously, the second team, led by the Vice Chairman of the commune People’s Committee, inspected drainage systems in Phu Luu Te, Dai Hung, and Dai Nghia, where key pumping stations are located. In Ha village, Ha Xa hamlet—an area with complex terrain, steep slopes, and many houses at the foot of the hill—the team noted minor landslides and urged close monitoring for timely response.
Prioritizing residents’ safety
After inspections, My Duc commune leaders assessed that while landslides were not yet severe, preventive measures must be taken early to avoid delays. Teams were instructed to reinforce weak spots and complete drainage checks before heavy rain.
“No oversight, no matter how small, is acceptable in preparedness efforts,” emphasized the Chairman during the inspection.
The commune also urged villages to review households in low-lying areas and update evacuation lists. Residents were advised to reinforce roofs, check electrical systems, and secure unstable structures. Youth unions and local organizations were mobilized to assist.
