With hundreds of thousands of residents and tourists flocking to central Hanoi to witness major events, especially the rehearsal of the parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of National Day on September 2nd, the city has implemented a large-scale public utility system. Beyond ensuring security and order, Hanoi has also focused on the most essential needs, from healthcare, sanitation, and water supply to transportation and parking, all aimed at providing a convenient and safe experience for everyone.
The public utility system was meticulously prepared, demonstrating the thoughtfulness and professionalism of the Organizing Committee. All necessary information was updated on the digital map.A80 - Proud of Vietnamand the iHanoi app, which helps people easily look up the location of service points right on their phones.

To ensure the health and safety of the community, the city has deployed 88 medical teams and 37 ambulances along the parade routes and areas with large crowds. Medical staff and volunteers are always ready to provide assistance. In case of emergency, people can immediately call 115 or find the nearest police station or volunteer support center. The dense presence of this public health system provides absolute peace of mind for residents and tourists.

The need for public restrooms is a particularly important issue during large-scale events. Hanoi has thoroughly addressed this problem by deploying a total of 1,012 free restrooms.
This impressive number includes 612 newly installed mobile toilets and approximately 400 toilet facilities mobilized from agencies, schools, and even private homes. Many street-front households have voluntarily opened their doors, transforming private spaces into public amenities, creating a beautiful image of Hanoi's hospitality and sharing. To find the nearest toilet, residents simply access the map on the iHanoi app or website a80.hanoi.gov.vn, find the WC icon, and press "Get Directions" to be guided there.

To encourage people to use public transportation, the entire bus and elevated train system offered free fares for four days during the event, including the rehearsal day on August 27th. This is a practical policy that not only helps people save money but also contributes to reducing traffic congestion, a persistent problem for the city.
These simple yet humane actions brought convenience and comfort to the viewers, while creating a warm and sharing atmosphere during the grand event.
For those using private vehicles, the city has arranged many free parking areas. In addition to the already announced locations such as Thang Long Imperial Citadel, Hanoi Museum, and Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Cultural Palace, the People's Committees of the wards have also added parking areas in the courtyards of schools and government offices. This helps people easily find safe and convenient parking, avoiding congestion and encroachment on sidewalks and roads.
The meticulous preparation of public utility systems demonstrates Hanoi's professionalism and vision in organizing national-scale events. Every service point and every policy has been carefully considered to ensure safety, convenience, and satisfaction for the people. These practical and humane actions not only create a positive image in the eyes of tourists but also affirm the hospitality and civility of the capital city during this major national event.
