Prolonged heavy rains caused the water level on major river systems such as Serepok, Ba, Ky Lo and Ban Thach rivers to rise very quickly, exceeding alarm level 3 in many places. In communes and wards along Ba and Ky Lo rivers, the water level was 1 - 1.5 m deep, causing serious isolation.

Faced with the complicated flood situation, to support the Traffic Police Department of Dak Lak Province Police to ensure traffic order and safety, rescue and support people, the Traffic Police Department has requested localities to increase forces and vehicles to the flooded areas. In particular, Da Nang Police mobilized 2 boats, 8 officers and soldiers. Quang Ngai Police mobilized 1 boat, 4 officers and soldiers. Lam Dong Police mobilized 3 boats, 3 officers and soldiers.
