Local authorities are proactively responding to heavy rain and landslides.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has urged provinces and cities to proactively respond to heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, hail, flooding, flash floods, and landslides.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Environment has recently issued Official Letter No. 16/BCĐ-BNNMT to the People's Committees of provinces and cities regarding proactive response to heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, hail, flooding, flash floods, and landslides.

Heavy rains are likely to cause flooding in low-lying areas, urban and industrial zones; flash floods on small rivers and streams, and landslides on slopes; thunderstorms may bring tornadoes, lightning, hail, and strong gusts of wind.

To proactively respond to heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, hail, flooding, flash floods, and landslides, the National Steering Committee for Civil Defense requests the People's Committees of provinces and cities:

For heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, hail; urban and low-lying area flooding; landslides and flash floods in mountainous areas, especially Lam Dong province: Closely monitor warning and forecast bulletins on heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, hail, flooding, flash floods, and landslides; promptly inform local authorities and the public to proactively take appropriate preventive measures; proactively review and evacuate people in high-risk areas for flash floods and landslides to safe locations; and have local forces ready to promptly assist people in overcoming the consequences (if any).

Simultaneously, strengthen information and communication work, especially at the grassroots level, to update information, disseminate and guide people on skills to respond to heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, hail, flooding, flash floods, and landslides, so that they can proactively prevent, avoid, and minimize damage.

The duty officer must be serious and regularly report to the National Civil Defense Steering Committee (via the Department of Dyke Management and Disaster Prevention and Control - Ministry of Agriculture and Environment).
