Hue residents use plastic bags filled with water to reinforce roofs against storm No. 10.

On September 27, many households in Hue City had a creative way to reinforce their roofs before storm No. 10: using large plastic bags filled with water and placed on the corrugated iron roof to increase gravity and limit roof lift during strong winds.

Many people in Hue used plastic bags to hold water to block the roofs of their houses to prevent storm number 10.

In Duong No ward, families assigned people to pump water underground, while people on the roof held the mouth of the bags, tied them tightly, and placed them in pre-calculated positions. Each roof was reinforced with dozens of water bags.

Mr. Nguyen Luan (Hue City) said that this method is more convenient and safer than carrying sand and rocks onto the roof like before. Plastic bags are light when not inflated, easy to move, quick to operate, and do not puncture the metal roof. When the storm passes, just drain the water and you can clean up immediately.

Many people in Hue use plastic bags to contain water to reinforce their roofs against storm number 10.

Many other households have also applied this measure, making use of available materials to proactively prevent storms and minimize damage.
