Time Zone. HOtEL (effeotive upon arrival in area of operation)

1. General.:

a. The DANANG area and vicin:Lty are tropical areas characterized by four seasonll' - dry and relative cool (February - April); hot

. Mddry(Hay - July); rainy and hot (Auguet - October); and rainy and cool (November .• January). The average annual rainfall is 84.2 inches and thf! relative humidity averages 82.8

·peroBnt.' Typhoons appear seasonally, 'usually October-November.

b.The general health of the people is poor. Public health problems are aggravated by the adverse climate, poor sanitation, economic

. problems created by war, refugees, poor nutritional status of the people, and compounded by overcrowding in the narrow coastal strip on the SoutJ'l:ChinaSea.

c. There is a narrow coastal plain which is seldom over 20 miles in width. This area is densely populated. The land itself is level along the ooast but becomes gently rolling inland toward the mountainfl6 Behind thl~ coastal plain lies an area of mountains and hilly plateaus. The plateaus lie between 1000 and 3000 feet above sea level •.. The mountatns are mostly under ,000 feet· above sea level, but Bome reach 8S high as 6000 to 8000 feet.

2. Water

a. Questionably potable water for DANANG is presently supplied from two wella with capability of providin~ 1;-20 cubic meters of water per hour. Two more are under construction which should provide an additional 65 cmbic meters per hour. Water is also drawn from private shallow wells that are generally 3-4 meters deep, the' water· table genElral1y being only a few feet below the surface. A few of these wells sometimes dry up during the dry season.

b. The compound occupied by Tuk E1elle!nt 79.':3.3.6 obtains its vater trolll its own well, 408 teet deep, with a capac itT ot 60 gallons per Dlinute. This water is of good qualitY' and is chlorinated to provide a chlorine concentration of approximately one part per million at end saurc",.

c. Water is ot insufficient quantity and. unsatisfactor;y qualitT in the rural areas.

3. lood

a. Supply, Rice is the most il1lportant crop. Other crops include corn, sugar.cane, sweet potatoes, beans, cabbages; tomatoes and other vegetables.

b. Food sanitation. There is little food sanitation and in.peotion. Human exorement is used in some areas a8 fertilizer. In the . market flies are nwneroul!I, especial.ly during the rainy l!Ieason.

'..Thtf'.loc81·rt'e1Sh'milk supply is ~enerally poor and inadequate, and there are SUbstantial losses of foodstuffs through rot and insect infestation. DANANG ha.s Soo cubic' meters of cold storage I!Ipace and an ice capacity of 15 ton.S per day. Two cases of infeotious hepatitis have been traced to this ice recentlT.. The MUnicipal Slaughterhouse in Dk~ANG butchers from So to 6, pigs and 1 to 12 cattle per day. Methods of handling and slaughtering are primitive and there is no cold storage at the slaughterhouse. Pork is usually sold the day it is killed" but beef may be held until til e next day.-

4. Waste. Disposal.

a. In DANANG the lack ot piped water system precludes the presence of a water-borne sewerage system. It is probable some of the government buildings and better homes are equipped with individual B~ptic tanks, but the overall system of waste disposal is undoubtedly unsatisfactory.

b. In rural areas human wastes and refuse are disposed of in open fields, canals, and rivers, although there has recently been legislation prohibiting this. Night soil is used for fertilizer.

c. In the larger towns garbage is placed in open containers" collected in.open carts" and transported to dumps.

5. Insects and Animals of .InJ>ortance to Man.

a. Vectors and disease.

(1) Mosquitoes

(a) Ano~ele8~ Twenty-two species have been identitied of , wliF 13 are vectors of malaria. The major malaria vectors

are Anopheles ndnimU5 and!. jeyporiensis. Both of these species are strongly attraoted to man and breed principa1lJ after the rainy season when swift upland streams become sluggish and form pools of stagnant water. Malaria is most prevalent in the foothills, mountains, and high

,. plateaus.

(b) Aedes. A~ aegypt1 and A. elbopictus are the chief Tectors '. " of dengue fever and filariasis. .

(0) I!I

of Japaneae

(2) Lice. Pediculus corporis (body louse) is capable of transmitting relsostng fever and epidemic typhus fever.

(3) Flies.

(a) Comm6n housefly prevalent throughout the country. Plays a major role in spreading dysentery. Also implicated in trachoma 0

(b) Biting flies. The horse fly ,or deer fly is found throughout SOUTH VIETNAl-1:. Especially troublesome in the jungle area from !>lay to Ootober. .

C c) Common blow fly (Lucilia 5 ericats.) • The mechanical 'transmitters of yaws, myiasis, and certain eye . diseases.

(d) Sand fly PhlebotljMUs) 0 £. arfentiPes is a vector of both viscera an cutaneous 1e shmaniasis and is prevalent in SOUTH VIETNAM~

(4) Fleas-. The rat fIe, (Xenopsylla cheopis) is the chief vector of plague and murine typhus in area.

(5) Rodents. Rats (bl~ck, brown, ~md bamboo), mice, voles squirrels and other" rodents are abundant throughout SOUTH VmNAM. Rodents carry lice, fleas, and mites, which are the veotors of plague, muine typhus, and other disease. The excreta of rodents ~y oontain organixmE of the Salmonella groups, Leptospira iotero-hemorrhl'!he, and • variety of parasitic ova. ~lrlilum minus, lch oauses rat-bite fever, is transmitte by th~ hite of the rat.

h. Snakes

(1) Cobras. Three varieties. All poisonous, NeurotOXio venom.

(2) Pit Vipers. Variety of pit vipers, all moderately poisonous. Russell's viper is very poisonous and able to injeot double the lethal dose for man in a single bite. Heomotoxic venom.

(3) Kraits. The common krait and t,he banded krait. NeurQ:tOxio venoms, more toxic than that of the oobras.

(4) Water snakes. At least 10 species of poisonous water snakes, usually near the shore in coastal waters.

c. other animals

(1) Leeches. Found on the graBses and weeds along piths and near water holes in low-lying areas during the rainy season. Their bites produce profuse bIE~eding, itching, and secondary infection.

(2) Fish. Sharks ;;Ind other specie!1 of fish whose flesh is poisonous to min ilre found in i,he costal waters. Many fish contain puasitee which infect man when the flesh is eaten raw.

(3) Although dingerous inimals, such as tigers, leopards, and be;rs ~re occasionally seen, they usu.lly avoid human beings. Wild boars ire very dQngerous when molested.

d. Poisonous Plants.

(1) The Sick tree or deadly "up.s" tree (Antiaris toxic. ria) grows to a height of 100 feet, and has leaves like an elm tree. It produces a poisonous, milk-like sap.

(2) Certain types ot taro root are eaten by the natives. Some types are completely poisonous when ingested, While portiaria of others are edible if they are carefully prepared.

(3) Manioc root is also eaten by the natives. It is poisonous unless pro-pt"rly pl'epar,ed.

(4) Various species of the genus Urtica ar~ found. Loc.l names ftmang ong voi", "ribbon" and lnan tia to It. Pl.nts grow to 9-16 te~t in height and h've pOinted heart-shaped toothed or serrat~d leaves, along the edges of which are poisonous hairs. A painful eruption follows contact with these hairs.

6. DiseaB~8 of Special Military Importanoe.

a. ):i«l.n. • Thf' principal cause of sickness and death in SOUTH VIETNAM. Foothills nnd highlands are intensely mal.rious. Plasmodium faloipa~um infeotions predominate in July, August and September when the rai:ntall iegreatest. P. vivu: infections predOminate in November, December and January when the rainfall is less. These two types account for about 85% of all cases of ~larh and for an even higher percentage of malaria deaths. P. ma1ari~e is present throughout the year, ind accounts for .remaIning 15% of the casea.

b. Gastro-Intestin<ill infecti.o:ns.

(1) Amoebic md Bacill.lilry D-ysenteries. Both dise.lilses prevalent. Bacillary dysentery (usually due to the F1~xner and Shigella groups) is the more s erioua ~;nd widespread. Known to occur in' epidemics in many v.illages during the rainy season.

(2) Typhoid and Par~typhiod Fevers. Both diseases widespread .Iilmong the people. Human clilrriers prob.lilbly pl:.ay an important p.lilrt in the transmission of th~se dise~sea.

(3) Fhgclhte Di.arrhea. 'Caused by Giardia lamblia, Chilomlilstix meanili, Trichomonas hominis frequ~ntiy. .

(4) Cholera. Endemic i.n S(lUTH VIETNAM. Preake out frequently in large epidemics. Host often in southern put of the country.

Although unveri.fied, it is reported that large quantities of material are stockpiled in USOM warehouses. These reports indicate the possible existence of some stel~l shapes and plates among other constrUction items. Most of these warehouses ne located in the S=igon area.

6. Cement is available from three I!IOU1~Ct'S, Thailtmd, Japan And the u.s. The cement from .. Thdland is not of good quaU ty and it is not be1i.eved that the price slving is lforth the quality loss. The Japanese cement is equal in quality to that producf!d in the U. S. A cement mill is prel!lently being ccmstructed near Saigon by the RVN Government.

7. Most timber resources are in the inland portion of the country and often in the area controlled b~r the Viet Cong. Although this area abounds in hardwood there is one excellent construction tilnber available. This is called Dou and is equivalent to Douglas Fir.

e. Two known sawmills are located neil' Dan4i1ng. One at the north end of town about i mile from the river. The st-cond is about 20 KIn south of the city along the coastal road. Both mills are makeshift affdrs of questionable linl!!age liInd vint"ge. Qudi ty cont.rol of lumber size and grade is very poor., It is possible th.t other mills exist in this .rea.
