According to official data, recent floods in Tìa Dình claimed three lives and injured eight others. 95 homes were damaged, including 16 that were completely swept away, while dozens of families had to be urgently relocated due to landslide risks. Agriculture was heavily affected, with over 164 hectares of crops and nearly 9.3 hectares of fish ponds buried or washed away; dozens of livestock and poultry were lost. Landslides cut off inter-village roads at dozens of points, leaving stretches entirely impassable to vehicles. Estimated damage exceeds VND 78 billion.

In response, Tìa Dình authorities mobilized emergency teams to assess conditions, direct rescue efforts, and evacuate residents from high-risk areas. Warning signs were posted at landslide-prone sites, while local loudspeakers continuously broadcast weather alerts and urged people to avoid dangerous areas. With support from militia, police, and villagers, households were quickly relocated to safety. Relief supplies from government agencies, organizations, and benefactors, including hundreds of sets of clothing, blankets, food, medicine, and flashlights, were delivered directly to affected families.

Nguyễn Đức Đô, Chairman of the Tìa Dình commune People’s Committee, said: “Immediately after the floods, we set up working groups to visit every hamlet, assess the damage, and provide support. Families of those who died from landslides received a provisional assistance of VND 5 million  per victim; those with seriously injured members received VND 1 million. Families who lost homes were given funds to buy essentials such as clothing, blankets, mats, sandals, drinking water, and noodles to stabilize their lives in the short term.”

To restore infrastructure, local authorities deployed machinery to clear landslides and reopen roads. So far, access to 13 hamlets has been restored, while efforts continue in the remaining areas. Irrigation systems and water supply facilities are also being repaired to meet daily needs and farming requirements.

Tìa Mùng, a hamlet about 9 kilometers from the commune center, was the worst-hit. After floods on August 1, it was completely isolated until August 6, when a temporary path for motorbikes was cleared. Transportation remains extremely difficult. The hamlet reported one death and 18 severely affected households, including eight that lost homes entirely and 10 households that suffered property damage

The family of Giàng Xó Nhè was among those who lost everything. His home is now nothing but bare earth and debris. “Our house was completely buried. We lost everything, only our lives were saved”. Nhè said. “For now, my family is staying in a classroom shelter. It’s safe, but we don’t know where we’ll live in the future.”

Giàng A Chếnh, Head of Tìa Mùng hamlet, added: “Right after the floods, we mobilized local youth to evacuate residents to safety and rush the injured to hospitals. In recent days, army units have come to help dismantle collapsed houses and relocate families in dangerous areas. Many relief groups have also arrived with support. People’s lives are gradually stabilizing. What we need most now is urgent assistance to rebuild homes so residents can settle down and resume farming.”

Thanks to timely intervention from local authorities and the unity of the community, life in Tìa Dình is slowly returning to stability. Many families have started repairing homes and clearing farmland. These efforts reflect the determination and sense of responsibility of Tìa Dình’s leadership, along with the solidarity of its people, in overcoming disasters and restoring livelihoods.

However, the aftermath remains daunting. Residents still need urgent assistance. Chairman Nguyễn Đức Đô emphasized that the commune is seeking emergency funding to repair damage, especially for families who lost homes, assets, and crops. Additional support is needed to rebuild critical infrastructure such as inter-village roads, irrigation works, and water systems, as well as to finance resettlement for households living in high-risk landslide zones, particularly in Tìa Mùng. Local authorities also called on organizations, businesses, and individuals to continue mobilizing resources to support the most vulnerable families, especially policy households and those facing extreme hardship.
