(Baothanhhoa.vn) - Due to the impact of storm No. 5, many localities in Thanh Hoa province were flooded, causing many families to be affected, with heavy damage to property, houses, agricultural products, goods... directly affecting life and livelihood. In Ham Rong ward, about 2,100 households living in the area outside the Ma River dike were deeply submerged in floodwaters...

Ham Rong ward police organized environmental cleaning and garbage collection right after the water receded.

Among the 2,100 households affected by floods, there are 175 households in difficult circumstances, households with elderly or single people, small businesses, families gathering a lot of agricultural products or houses combining production and business that were severely damaged... needing timely support from functional forces to soon stabilize their lives.

Faced with the above situation, in order to promptly share and support people to overcome the consequences of storms and floods, quickly stabilize their lives and restore production and business, the Ham Rong Ward Police force coordinated with the Youth Union, Women's Union, security and order protection forces at the grassroots level and the militia and self-defense forces to establish 7 working groups to directly go to each neighborhood to support people.

Ham Rong Ward Police supported Ms. Nguyen Thi Thong in cleaning her house and stabilizing her life soon.

With the spirit of helping people overcome the consequences wherever the water recedes, from the afternoon of August 28, when the water had just receded at some points, working groups urgently deployed to clean up, dredge mud, collect garbage on inter-street routes; organize the cleaning of 7 Cultural Houses. At the same time, they directly went to each poor household to support people in cleaning their houses and stabilizing their lives.

In parallel, the ward police force also coordinated with local health agencies to spray disinfectants at flooded areas, public areas and cultural houses to prevent epidemics from arising after floods, ensuring public health. Lieutenant Colonel Le Viet Thuan, Head of Ham Rong Ward Police, said: “We have advised the ward People's Committee to coordinate with other forces to establish 7 working groups to organize environmental cleaning in neighborhoods, public areas, cultural houses, and directly support people in cleaning their homes. With the goal of 'where the water recedes, clean up there', we hope that people will soon stabilize their lives and feel secure in working and producing.”

Sharing her emotions, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Thong, the wife of a martyr, currently living alone near the riverbank in Ward 4, Ham Rong Ward, said: “The floodwaters receded, leaving behind a lot of mud and dirt. I am old and weak, and cannot clean up by myself. Luckily, the police and young people came to help, I feel very warm-hearted.”

The timely presence, sense of responsibility and affection of the police force and grassroots organizations not only contribute to supporting people to overcome the consequences of natural disasters, but also serve as a solid foundation for people to soon stabilize their lives and continue working and producing./.
