On the afternoon of July 21, Mr. Ha Xuan Thanh - Secretary of the Party Committee of Trung Ha commune, Thanh Hoa province said that to proactively respond to storm No. 3, the commune has developed a plan and urgently evacuated 39 households in Muong village from the danger zone.

On the morning of July 21, the commune organized forces to set up temporary shelters in a safe area near the village, and at the same time evacuated people from the danger zone. The relocation was carried out methodically and urgently, with the participation of police and military forces.
Trung Ha Commune Party Secretary Ha Xuan Thanh added: With the high consensus and unity of the People, by 4:00 p.m. on July 21, the work of evacuating people from the dangerous area in Muong village had been completed. The commune has also prepared electricity, water and food to meet the living needs of people during the temporary stay, and assigned forces to be on duty 24/7, providing support when needed.
