On September 23, Binh Long Ward Police said they are coordinating with PC07 Department of Dong Nai City Police and Ward Military Command to deploy forces to search for people suspected of being swept away by floodwaters and missing.
According to initial information, in the late afternoon of September 22, prolonged heavy rain caused many roads in Binh Long ward to be deeply flooded. At about 5 pm on the same day, on Su Van Hanh street (Xa Cam neighborhood, Binh Long ward), people discovered a white car swept away by the water, so they quickly reported it to functional agencies.
Immediately after receiving the information, Binh Long Ward Police urgently reported to superiors, and at the same time coordinated with PC07 Department of Dong Nai City Police, military and civil defense forces and related units to deploy search and rescue plans in the area identified as the place where the person was suspected of missing.
Functional forces have mobilized manpower and specialized vehicles to organize surveys and searches along drainage routes, deep flooded areas and locations with strong currents. Search work is continuously deployed overnight with the highest determination to find the victims soon.
However, due to the continued complicated weather, prolonged heavy rain, fast flowing water, limited visibility and difficult search terrain, it has significantly affected the rescue and relief process.
Currently, functional forces are still maintaining the search work, and expanding the scope of inspection in related areas.
