Some infrastructure works were also damaged. Tan Binh village cultural house had its roof completely blown off. Cay Mit suspension bridge had its span shifted, posing a potential safety risk for people and vehicles passing through. Local authorities have issued warnings, requesting people to be cautious when moving through this area.
Immediately after the natural disaster occurred, leaders of the Party Committee and People's Committee of the commune directed forces to go to the area to inspect, grasp the situation, visit people and support the recovery of consequences. The Party Committees of villages and hamlets continue to review and statistically assess damage to report and propose timely support plans.
Local authorities also called on people to promote the spirit of solidarity, support each other to overcome difficulties soon, and at the same time recommend closely monitoring weather developments to proactively prevent extremist phenomena that may continue to occur in the coming days.
Not only in Binh Tho City, ice rain also appeared in many other localities such as Thai Hoa, Nghia Dan, Tan Ky, Nam Dan, Quynh Luu... causing widespread damage. In some places, dark clouds came quickly, accompanied by strong gusts of wind before ice rain occurred.
Currently, local authorities are urgently inspecting and statistically analyzing damage, and at the same time implementing measures to support people to overcome the consequences and soon stabilize their lives and production.
