In the telegram, the state leader directed that all people’s committees of affected provinces and cities focus efforts on quickly mitigating the consequences of floods and landslides. Local authorities, he noted, should concentrate on finding those missing, providing medical aid to those injured, and caring for families who have lost relatives.
Other rescue efforts include providing food and clean water to families in evacuation areas. The state leader reminded all authorities to stay aware of further damage caused by continuing rainfall and to closely monitor weather forecasts in order to warn and relocate residents in a timely manner.
