On the afternoon of September 29, the water level on the Con River had receded by more than 1 meter compared to yesterday, meaning that many houses and schools in Tan Ky district had gradually drained all the water. Local authorities urged and propagated that people should clean up as the water receded to ensure the environment and stabilize their lives.

Mr. Ha Van Tan in Dien Nam hamlet, Ky Tan commune said that yesterday the water was 1 meter deep into the house, luckily the furniture was placed high up so it was not affected much. This afternoon, after the water receded from the floor, the couple used a water hose to spray the mud out. The wet and muddy objects were cleaned and dried before being brought into the house.

"The entire flock of 15 chickens died because they were not caught and kept high up. What I am most worried about now is the 1 sao of winter corn that is knee-high and has been submerged by floodwaters for the past 2 days. If they die, all the care will be in vain," said Mr. Ha Van Tan.

At Dien Nam Kindergarten, Ky Tan Commune, this afternoon, the local authorities also mobilized forces to support cleaning classrooms and teaching and learning equipment. Teacher Thai Thi Ly - Vice Principal of Dien Nam Kindergarten said: In general, the school proactively placed teaching materials and equipment high up, so they were not affected. The most serious problem was the floor, school yard and outdoor items covered with a thick layer of mud, because the flood water was nearly 2 meters deep.

It was difficult for the teaching staff to clean up in one session, so the commune and hamlet mobilized forces to support cleaning and wiping down the teaching equipment. Therefore, as the water receded, the cleaning was done, and the teaching equipment was quickly re-arranged.
