Total rainfall in the northern plains will generally range from 120-250 mm, with some areas exceeding 300 mm; in the southern plains, 150-300 mm, with some areas exceeding 350 mm; and in the mountainous areas, 200-400 mm, with some areas exceeding 500 mm. A warning is issued regarding the risk of heavy rainfall exceeding 150 mm/3 hours in mountainous areas.

This morning, water levels at monitoring stations on the Vu Gia and Thu Bon rivers are still above alarm level 3 and continue to remain high. In the next 6-12 hours, floods on the Vu Gia River, the lower Thu Bon River, and the Tam Ky River will peak and recede slowly.

Widespread and severe flooding continues in low-lying riverside areas, and in urban areas. Particularly in the communes of Que Phuoc, Nong Son, Duy Xuyen, Thu Bon, Xuan Phu, Thanh My, Thuong Duc, Ha Nha, Phu Thuan, Vu Gia, Dai Loc, Go Noi, Dien Ban Tay, Dien Ban Bac, Hoa Tien, Hoi An, Hoi An Tay, Hoi An Dong, Nam Phuoc, Duy Nghia, An Thang... There is a very high risk of flash floods and landslides on the slopes of mountainous areas in Da Nang City.

Armed forces are assisting residents and tourists in responding to flooding in the Hoi An area.

By 5:00 AM on October 28th, Da Nang City had evacuated 1,101 households with 3,572 people from flood-prone and landslide-prone areas, ensuring their safety. The communes and wards with the largest number of evacuated households include: Tra Doc (141 households), Tra Linh (49 households), Tra Leng (51 households), Duy Nghia (52 households), and Vu Gia (79 households). Dozens of school buildings were repurposed as temporary shelters.

In terms of infrastructure, many national highways, provincial roads, and inter-communal roads have been affected by landslides and deep flooding, disrupting traffic. National Highway 40B experienced landslides at more than 20 points, with over 20,000 m³ of soil and rocks, causing traffic congestion in many sections. Provincial roads DT.601, 606, 614, 615, and 612 suffered subsidence, damage to the roadbed, embankments, and drainage culverts. Provincial roads DH1, DH3, and DH5 in mountainous areas were completely cut off.

Initial damage statistics indicate that at least three houses have completely collapsed, and dozens of other houses are flooded or at risk of landslides. Many irrigation works, streetlights, and trees have been severely damaged. More than 3km of seawalls in Hoi An Tay and Hoi An Dong wards have collapsed, with erosion reaching depths of 10–30m.

People in mountainous areas participate in repairing landslides caused by floods.

Given the complex weather situation, with heavy rains causing floods, landslides, and road closures in several areas of the city, City Party Secretary Le Ngoc Quang conducted on-site inspections in Hoi An Tay, Hoi An Dong, and Hoi An wards on October 28th to promptly direct efforts to prevent, mitigate, and overcome the damage caused by the floods.

Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, Tran Nam Hung, also directly inspected several landslide-prone areas, resettlement zones, and evacuation sites in the mountainous Tra My district. He requested the authorities of Tra Tan and Tra My communes to continue closely monitoring the flood situation and avoid being caught off guard. Functional forces must be on duty 24/7, with vehicles and supplies ready to provide timely assistance in case of emergencies.
