Yen Bai and Au Lau wards actively support people to soon stabilize their lives after flooding.

Due to the impact of storm No. 10, thousands of households in Yen Bai and Au Lau wards were deeply flooded, many residential areas were isolated, and traffic was paralyzed. After the water receded, with the strong direction of the local government, functional forces, businesses and organizations quickly took action, supporting people to overcome the consequences of natural disasters and soon stabilize their lives.

At around midnight on September 30, the floodwaters from the Red River began to recede slowly. At 3-4 a.m., the water receded quickly, revealing streets and residential areas littered with mud. On many streets such as Nguyen Thai Hoc, Tran Quoc Toan, Thanh Nien of Yen Bai ward, the mud layer was 40-50 cm thick, with garbage, trees, and furniture from houses piled up on the streets. In each house, people were busy cleaning up, but the thick mud and heavy furniture made the recovery work more difficult.

As early as 6 a.m. on October 1, officials and civil servants of Yen Bai ward coordinated with the police, army, union members and youth to promptly arrive to support the people. Amidst the thick mud, the green uniforms of the army, police and firefighters stood out, weaving through small alleys and deep lanes, contributing to the people's recovery of life after the flood.

Mrs. Mai tearfully shared: “My house was flooded 2 meters deep. Without the help of the soldiers, my family would not have known how to manage. Seeing the house gradually clean, my heart feels much lighter.”

Corporal Vu Van Quan - Division 355, Regiment 192 said: "We consider this a responsibility and also a source of pride. Seeing people in difficulty makes us more determined. After cleaning a house, seeing the smiles of the people, all the hardships disappear."

People were moved to thank the soldiers for participating in supporting the recovery from natural disasters.

According to preliminary statistics, Yen Bai ward alone has more than 5,000 households in 38 residential groups flooded, many households suffered heavy damage when machinery, electronic devices, and household appliances were soaked in water and completely damaged. The amount of mud and waste left after the flood is estimated at thousands of cubic meters, covering roads, gardens, and alleys.

The ward government mobilized all staff and civil servants to coordinate with military and police officers and soldiers to urgently go to each residential group to support people in overcoming the consequences.

In addition, the ward also mobilized many local businesses to promptly join hands, bringing more than 60 machinery and equipment such as excavators, bulldozers, trucks, and pressure sprayers to participate.

Muddy streams of water follow the street cleaning hoses to wash away the thick mud, garbage trucks leave the residential area one after another, so that each street gradually becomes clear and clean again, creating conditions for people to soon stabilize their lives.

Police officers and soldiers actively participate in supporting people to overcome the consequences of natural disasters.

While in Yen Bai ward, the massive amount of work is concentrated in the densely populated central area, in Au Lau ward - where more than 600 households were deeply flooded, many families had to be urgently evacuated, the recovery work is no less urgent.

Not leaving people alone, from early morning, the Au Lau ward government coordinated with the police, army, organizations and people to carry out general cleaning, collect mud and dirt, and take out damaged furniture.

On the small roads that had just appeared after the flood, groups of people lined up, brooms and rakes in hand, sweeping mud continuously; no one complained of being tired, each person had a task and coordinated smoothly. The whole neighborhood was like a unified block, focused on the common task of helping people stabilize their lives soon.

Trucks loaded with mud and garbage drove off the streets.

Lieutenant Colonel Do Duc Thanh - Deputy Chief of Staff of Lao Cai Provincial Police, who was present there, shared: In difficult situations, the most important thing is to be present with the people in time and help them. We determine that every small action today is the foundation for the people to feel secure tomorrow.

"On the morning of October 1, following the direction of the Provincial Police, the General Staff Department sent nearly 100 officers and soldiers to support local people in overcoming the consequences of floods," added comrade Thanh.

Although each house has gradually become clean and each road has begun to take shape, in Yen Bai and Au Lau wards, mud is still thick and garbage is strewn about, making the environmental sanitation work take a long time.

On the main street, groups of road workers and police were still busy cleaning up; many people were still covered in mud and dirt, just taking the opportunity to open their lunch boxes and eat quickly right on the sidewalk, while others leaned against the tree trunks to take a nap for a few minutes before getting up and rushing back to work to support the people.

Just like that, the sound of brooms, shovels, and machines operating echoed endlessly, the atmosphere was urgent, busy, filled with the spirit of sharing and unity.

In the house that had just been cleared of mud, Ms. Vu Thi Thanh Tam, Hong Phu residential group, Yen Bai ward, was still emotional: “During the flood days, there was only me and my young daughter. My mother and I were almost helpless as we watched the mud flood in. When the forces came to support me, I was really touched, feeling like I had a relative by my side during the most difficult time. Thanks to that help, we were able to stabilize our lives soon.”

A quick lunch on the sidewalk of the forces before continuing with the people to overcome the consequences of the flood.

Mr. Bui Thanh Giang - Deputy Director of Yen Bai Road Construction Joint Stock Company 2 shared: "As soon as the water receded, the company immediately contacted the local authorities to coordinate to support people in cleaning the streets, ensuring smooth traffic. We mobilized more than ten vehicles such as excavators, graders, trucks and more than 25 workers to participate. Accompanying the people and the authorities at this time is inevitable, stemming from the company's sharing heart. When people are still in difficulty, none of us think of resting, we just want to contribute to help life return to normal soon."

Although the traces of floods cannot be erased overnight, thanks to the hands and hearts of the government, functional forces, businesses and people, roofs and streets are gradually reviving, brightening the belief in a peaceful and prosperous tomorrow after the storm and flood.
