HA NOI — Provinces and cities in the northern region are gradually being restored and getting back to normal, following the devastation caused by Typhoon Yagi and subsequent flooding.

Water levels of the Thai Binh and Kinh Thay rivers are falling, according to the Hai Duong Province Hydrometeorological Centre.

Up to now, all households have returned to their old residences, cleaned up their houses and begun tidying up the local environment.

Along the Luoc River, farmers reinforced cages and rafts to prepare for production to resume.

The provincial Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, Search and Rescue, withdrew alert level three on some downstream rivers on Monday morning.?

The committee requested Tu Ky and Thanh Ha districts, Kinh Mon Town to patrol and guard the dikes according to alert level two, especially embankments, sluices, lagoons, ponds and low-lying fields, to promptly detect and handle any damage.?

Irrigation companies will work with the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development and local authorities to strictly implement the pumping and drainage according to the province's and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development's directions.?

By Sunday afternoon, Hai Duong Province resolved all 269 dike breaches and 228 irrigation system incidents.?

Earlier, to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, the provincial authorities had evacuated 4,447 households with over 10,600 people.

As many as 113 out of 166 pumping stations are operating to drain water, 54 of which are pumping into the Bac Hung Hai irrigation system and 59 others draining into other rivers.

Schools opened?

The provincial Department of Education and Training said on Monday that 520 schools in Lao Cai Province resumed teaching after the typhoon, while 78 have still not restarted, accounting for about 13%.?

Bao Yen District suffered the most damage with 55 schools unable to re-open, accounting for over 80% of the schools in the district.

High school students returned to class with a relatively high attendance rate on Monday morning, estimated at over 96%.

The only school with a low attendance rate was Bao Yen High School No 3 with 431 out of 486 students (55 students absent) because Tan Tien Commune was still isolated, making travel very difficult.

Two schools were severely damaged, namely the Bat Xat District Junior Secondary School and High School, which experienced landslides that collapsed 16 boarding rooms for students.

The classrooms need to be inspected and evaluated by the education authority before students can return to school.

The Bao Yen High School No 1 was flooded with water and mud. Books and teaching equipment were damaged and with conditions still not safe for learning,? the return to school date was postponed to Wednesday.

As for Bao Yen District, 55 out of 68 schools plan to start school next week because these schools are located in areas that are difficult to access due to landslides.

Many families of students and teachers are also facing difficulties in overcoming the consequences of the typhoon.

The education sector has directed schools to actively clean classrooms and ensure the necessary conditions for teaching and learning to return to normal. At the same time, it has encouraged affected staff and teachers to return to their usual school timetable.?

By last Saturday, Lao Cai Province had 35 students dead and missing, and 15 had been injured due to Typhoon Yagi.?

More than 600 families of teachers and education staff and 25 families of students were affected.?
