An Luc Long: Storms caused damage to many houses

Immediately after the natural disaster, the leaders of An Luc Long Commune People's Committee and the Commune Military Command quickly arrived at the affected areas, directly visited, encouraged and deployed forces to support people to overcome the consequences.

Leaders of An Luc Long Commune People's Committee quickly arrived at the residents' houses to grasp the situation.

According to initial statistics, the storm swept through 4 hamlets: Cau Ong Bui, Cau Duc, An Tap and Hoi Xuan. As of 6 p.m. the same day, 14 households had their roofs blown off, with total property damage estimated at about 47 million VND.

Many households are still in shock after the fierce storm. Mrs. Nguyen Thi Le Thuy, living in Cau Duc hamlet, recounted in a choked voice: “I was chopping wood in the yard when I heard a loud noise. I looked up and saw water hyacinth and tree branches being swept away by the storm. It was so fast! I ran inside and the kitchen had collapsed. When I went upstairs, the roof was also blown off. Luckily, I was not injured.”

Mrs. Thuy's kitchen was devastated after the tornado.

Faced with that situation, the commune militia force was promptly mobilized to support the people. Commander of the Commune Military Command Nguyen Hoang Loc said: "As soon as we received the information, we mobilized forces to the scene, coordinated with the people to clean up the tiled roofs and fallen trees. Some households were supported to re-roof their houses so that their lives could soon stabilize."

Militia forces support people to overcome damage

Vice Chairman of An Luc Long Commune People's Committee Nguyen Van Ro said: "The Commune People's Committee directed the hamlets to urgently review and count the damage to synthesize reports to superiors for consideration and support according to their authority. In the immediate future, the commune will focus on mobilizing militia forces and organizations to help people clean up, re-roof their houses, and repair necessary damage. We hope that people will soon stabilize their lives and feel secure in production."

Many houses in An Luc Long commune had their roofs blown off.

The storm lasted only a few minutes but caused significant damage to many households. Local authorities advised people to regularly monitor hydrometeorological forecasts, reinforce their houses, trim trees and prepare response plans to minimize risks when natural disasters occur./.
