The Office of the Provincial Standing Steering Committee for Natural Disaster
Prevention and Control, Search and Rescue has just made a quick report on the
damages caused by strong winds and tornadoes in hamlet 1, Ham Can commune, Ham
Thuan Nam district.
Specifically,
on February 21, 2023, household Mang Van Den (village 1, Ham Can commune)
arranged a wedding theater for his son; at 11:45 a.m., when the wedding
ceremony was taking place, suddenly strong winds and tornadoes occurred
locally. The whirlwind made 1/2 of the wedding dome to fly up high and
entangled to the 3-phase medium voltage electricity lines, causing an
electrical contact leading to a line to be broken, and at the same time the
dome collapsed causing injury to some people attending the wedding. As a
result, there were 08 injured people (07 severe and 01 mild) and about 20
people with minor scratches (due to the dome flying up high then collapsing on
the tables).
Immediately
upon receiving information about the tornado, the Ham Can Commune People's
Committee directed the Commune Police to notify the electricity power to
conduct a power outage on the affected area; coordinated with people to quickly
bring 08 injured people to Ham Can General Clinic for first aid, then 07 people
were transferred to Binh Thuan Provincial General Hospital. Ham Can Commune
People's Committee also protected the scene, took statements from related
people and assisted in cleaning up and overcoming the consequences of the
cyclone.
On
the morning of February 22, 2023, the Division of Agriculture and Rural
Development of Ham Thuan Nam district coordinated with relevant agencies and
units of the district, together with the People's Committee of Ham Can commune
to inspect and verify the damage situation to report to the District People's
Committee for further direction; at the same time, visited and encouraged the
injured people.
