As of 10 a.m on September 8, 14 people had died and 176 were injured due to Typhoon Yagi. Of these, few died due to falling trees, while the majority were due to other causes.
Don't lose your cool to the point of having to consider cutting tree branches or planting small trees for safety, but be confident to plant trees that grow into large ones, creating green spaces for Hanoi city as well as other urban areas.
For fallen and uprooted trees, if they can be saved, they must be saved at all costs, as directed by the Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee.
A fierce storm like Yagi passing through certainly cannot avoid damage, from buildings, houses, power lines to trees. If someone dies because of flying corrugated iron, then they are not allowed to have a corrugated iron roof, if someone is hit by flying tiles, then they are not allowed to have a tile roof, if a tree falls and kills, then all the branches are cut off and only small trees are planted.
After the disaster, life returned to normal, and the normal thing that people needed was to walk on the streets with cool green canopy. Trees not only create "lungs" for people, but also the beauty and grace of the city. Hanoi is beautiful in the eyes of "someone" because of the rows of trees reflecting on the lake.
Many poems and songs about Hanoi have the image of streets lined with green trees. Therefore, we must preserve and plant new ones, so that today and in the future, Hanoi will have parks and streets with many rows of tall trees, creating a unique beauty for the capital.
However, research is needed to plant more trees, with better quality and more beauty. Fear of storms should not make the green areas weaker, the trees bare, and the streets no longer quiet with rows of "solemn" old trees.
Planting techniques must be used to ensure that trees can withstand storms. Trees can fall for many reasons, including poor planting techniques.
Plant trees but the trees must live, live well, create green space for the city, not just plant to finish the job and neglect the tree after acceptance.
