On the afternoon of July 23, Mr. Hong Viet Trung - Chairman of the People's Committee of Bao Lam 3 commune - said that due to the impact of storm No. 3, in recent days, the weather in the area has been complicated, often with heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms and strong gusts of wind.
The storm caused the roofs of two houses in village 10 to be blown off. The local government has mobilized police forces, militia and youth unions to support people in re-roofing their houses, helping to stabilize their lives.
A low-voltage power pole that was broken and another power pole that had fallen trees were also fixed. Landslides occurred on the inter-village road from village 1 to village 10, causing difficulties in traveling.
The People's Committee of Bao Lam 3 commune has directed the Economic Department to coordinate with the Commune Police and the Commune Military Command to urgently overcome the situation, ensuring safe traffic for the people.
In particular, heavy rain and thunderstorms have caused 108 durian trees that were being harvested to be uprooted and broken. It is estimated that about 161 tons of durian from more than 200 households were dumped, causing a loss of about 4.8 billion VND.
Mr. Bui Thanh Binh - a resident of Bao Lam 3 commune - said that his family cultivates 2 hectares of durian and is in the harvest stage. However, the storm caused about 1 ton of fruit to fall. The situation of durian being cracked and rotten also occurs frequently, causing heavy economic damage.
Currently, the People's Committee of Bao Lam 3 commune is completing the damage report to propose timely support for people to overcome difficulties.
In the face of complicated weather developments, the locality has arranged a permanent force, fully prepared means and materials according to the motto "three ready", "four on-site" to respond when incidents occur.
Bao Lam Commune People's Committee also coordinates with villages to continuously update weather information, helping people proactively prevent storms and floods effectively.
