Also at the inspection, Chairwoman of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi Nguyen Lan Huong requested the leaders of Tay Ho district and Yen Phu ward to ensure living conditions, accommodation and activities for people during their temporary stay. Special attention should be paid to the health of the elderly and children, and all necessities should be provided for people to live comfortably.

Along with that, continue to strictly maintain the on-duty regime, arrange forces to regularly inspect flooded areas, promptly take measures to handle arising situations. Ensure security and safety for both the destination and the departure of people who have to evacuate to avoid floods.
