Hoa Lac inspects and reinforces construction works to ensure safety for people

Accordingly, the Commune Economic Department is assigned to preside over the review and synthesis of the status of construction works, especially degraded houses, areas at risk of flooding or unsafe areas when heavy rain occurs. Public works such as headquarters, schools, cultural houses, medical stations, etc. need to be carefully assessed to propose repairs of essential items, such as electrical systems, water supply and drainage, surrounding walls, toilets, fire prevention and fighting, etc. Along with that, develop plans to evacuate people in dangerous areas to safe facilities such as schools, cultural houses, agency headquarters, etc. Organizations and individuals who own and manage works and houses in the area need to seriously implement measures to reinforce and prevent storms and floods, and at the same time be responsible before the law if violations of construction order occur, causing insecurity.
