According to the plan, the District People's Committee directed the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs (DOLISA) to coordinate with relevant agencies and units to conduct surveys of communes, wards and towns with many households affected by high tides and floods, and develop a plan to advise the District People's Committee to organize suitable and safe childcare facilities during the 2024 flood season.
The Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs coordinates with the Women's Union, Farmers' Association, Department of Education and Training and related departments, agencies and organizations to mobilize households with children under 6 years old who are severely affected by high tides and floods to send their children to gathering points to ensure their safety.
The subjects are children under 6 years old living in poor households, near-poor households, families with difficult policies, social protection, children living in families at high risk of accidents and injuries.
The expected duration of childcare is about 45 days. The locations are in communes, wards and towns in districts and counties in the area affected by high tides and flooding during the rainy season. The number of children depends on the actual number of children in each district and county (each location does not exceed 25 children).
The City People's Committee assigned the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs to preside over and coordinate with the Department of Education and Training, the Department of Health, the City Women's Union, the City Farmers' Association and relevant agencies and units to organize the implementation of the Plan to districts; at the same time, develop a plan to organize inspections of districts that organize childcare points during the flood season in 2024...
The Department of Education and Training directed the District Education and Training Office to assign one preschool teacher to take care of children at each location; mobilize toys for children and inspect child care at childcare locations.
This morning (October 6), Can Tho City Hydrometeorological Station issued a flood warning bulletin in the area with a level 2 risk of natural disasters due to high tides.
Accordingly, in the past 2 days, the water level on rivers and canals in Can Tho City rose following the high tide in early September of the lunar calendar combined with floods from upstream, causing the water level to rise.
The highest water level at 7:00 this morning (October 6) on the Hau River at Can Tho Hydrological Station at 6:30 was 2.06m; exceeding alarm level 3 by 0.06m.
According to the Can Tho City Hydrometeorological Station, this is a high tide with a peak tide exceeding the alarm level 3 by 0.10m. People need to pay attention to bad weather due to the influence of cold air from the Northeast monsoon, so during the days of high tide combined with heavy rain, it will cause widespread flooding in low-lying areas and inner-city riverside areas of the city.
