According to Mr. Dong, in recent days, due to prolonged heavy rains, some rice fields in Quynh Ngoc 2 village were flooded. In particular, many rice fields of the people had ripened but had not been harvested yet. Upon receiving the news, 30 officers and soldiers of Ea Na Commune Police, grassroots security forces and 20 youth union members in the commune quickly went to the fields to harvest rice, transport it to shore in time, limiting damage caused by floods.

The rice was ready to be harvested when the floodwaters came and caused flooding.

Ms. Dang Thanh Thuy (resident of Quynh Ngoc 2 village, Ea Na commune) said that heavy rains for many days in a row caused the water level of Krong Ana river to rise, flooding her family's rice fields. Since no one was home, Ms. Thuy did not know how to save the ripe rice fields. Fortunately, the commune police officers and union members arrived in time to help Ms. Thuy and the people harvest the rice.
