Officers and soldiers of Division 315 mobilized to respond to storm Kalmaegi

Thousands of sandbags, water barrels, wooden stakes, and ropes were transported by the unit to schools, administrative office’s headquarters, public facilities, and residential houses for reinforcement, as well as to riverbanks to strengthen eroded areas.

Officers and soldiers of Division 315 carry sandbags to help local residents secure their houses before the storm makes landfall.

The storm prevention work was carried out by the division’s officers and soldiers, together with local residents, in a spirit of pro-activeness, urgency, and determination. They ran against time to minimize potential damage caused by heavy rain and strong winds.

Following the principle of giving priority to public and essential facilities, policy households, and people living alone, in just over four hours on the morning of November 6, Division 315’s officers and soldiers, in coordination with local forces, reinforced more than 150 houses, headquarters of administrative offices and schools, and five eroded sites along the Thu Bon River.

At Truong Da Ship Repair Workshop near the lower reaches of the Thu Bon River, an area severely damaged by the recent historic floods, nearly 100 officers and soldiers urgently reinforced and protected dozens of fishing boats undergoing maintenance and repair. The troops used sandbags, flood cages, and tarpaulins to strengthen the riverbank and boats, enhancing their resistance to strong winds and rough waves.
