65 communes of Lao Cai, Dien Bien, Cao Bang, Son La, Hoa Binh, Thanh Hoa and
Nghe An provinces. To date, the installation of all systems has been completed.
The programme was carried out for 40 days,
starting from May 20. The date for completion of installation and start of
operation was June 26, which was 20 days ahead of schedule. Total cost of the
programme was 2.47 trillion VND (106.58 million USD).
Each system comprises of a rain gauge
sensor; data collection, processing and transmission sub-system and a technical
box; a rain gauge tripod mast; a management and monitoring programme for data
transmission, and a smart phone app.
In Hoa Binh, 10 systems were installed in
the districts of Cao Phong, Mai Chau, Tan Lac, Lac Son, Yen Thuy, Kim Boi,
Luong Son and Da Bac.
After the installation, the automatic rain
gauge systems in the localities were put into operation.
At the event, leaders of the fund asked the
localities to make full use of the automatic rain gauge systems in order to
issue early warnings, helping local people take the initiative during flooding
and rainy seasons and minimise damage of natural disasters.
Furthermore, maintenance is crucial to
ensure long-standing effects of the systems, and the localities should work to
raise people’s awareness of the activities of the rain gauge stations, thus
they will understand and help to maintain the systems.
The localities were also asked to submit
reports to the fund after one year of use, for assessment of the system’s
efficiency; as well as work with the fund to improve disaster preparedness for
local residents in the coming year./.
