Dien Chau Commune evacuated 751 people to safe shelters.
As soon as information about the direction of storm No. 5 was received, the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue of Dien Chau commune held an urgent meeting, thoroughly emphasizing the spirit of "not being subjective". Coastal hamlets in old communes such as Dien Ngoc, Dien Bich, ... were identified as key areas for people to be evacuated.
In the old Dien Bich commune - where hundreds of households live along the sea dike, the authorities made a list of households that needed to be relocated on the afternoon of August 24. Mr. Nguyen Van Loi, Chairman of the Commune People's Committee, said: "We have identified relocation as the number 1 task. The first priority is households in vulnerable areas, temporary houses, and boats moored near the estuary. The commune has mobilized all forces of the youth union, militia, and commune police to support people in transporting belongings, bringing the elderly and children to safety."
Accordingly, Dien Chau commune has arranged 2 locations: Dien Bich Secondary School and Dien Bich Primary School as concentrated shelters. These locations are fully prepared with lighting, clean water, emergency food and medical equipment.
Records on the morning of August 25 showed that hundreds of households in coastal areas had been evacuated to safe shelters, mainly the elderly and children, who had arrived early. Youth union members helped set up beds, spread mats, and guided people to settle down.
Ms. Ngo Thi Thuy, in Hai Bac hamlet, emotionally shared: “Every year when storms come, I worry, but this time the commune government proactively encouraged us to move early. Being taken to a solid place, with staff on duty, makes us feel much more secure.”
To assist the people in their evacuation, Dien Chau commune mobilized all its cadres, police officers, soldiers, militia, and youth union members to go directly to each household. The dilapidated level 4 houses and houses located close to the sea were given priority for evacuation.
Along with the evacuation, the commune authorities also inspected and reinforced schools, medical stations, and cultural houses; prepared rescue vehicles, canoes, life jackets, and flashlights. The commune medical force was assigned to be on duty 24/7 at the gathering points to promptly handle any health incidents.
Mr. Nguyen Van Loi - Chairman of Dien Chau Commune People's Committee emphasized: "Many years of experience show that if people are left in dangerous areas, the consequences will be very serious. Therefore, the commune's guiding viewpoint is to evacuate completely, leaving no households behind. In particular, temporary accommodation and living places for people must be carefully ensured, so that people can safely avoid the storm."
Thanks to the initiative, up to this point, the entire Dien Chau commune has evacuated nearly 242 households with 751 people out of the danger zone. The evacuated households are in Hai Bac and Chien Thang hamlets... The shelters are fully equipped with necessities, drinking water, and a loudspeaker system that continuously updates weather information for people to grasp.
Storm No. 5 is forecast to cause heavy rains with strong winds when it makes landfall, with a high risk of flooding and coastal landslides. Dien Chau Commune authorities have developed a contingency plan: preparing food reserves and rescue vehicles; establishing mobile shock troops, ready to respond when needed - Mr. Nguyen Van Loi, Chairman of Dien Chau Commune People's Committee affirmed.
