On the morning of November 18th, in Cu Pui ( Dak Lak ), after the floodwaters receded, 36 teachers and staff members of Hoa Phong Secondary School were present from early morning to clean up mud and disinfect classrooms, in preparation for the students' return to school.
The other day, the water rose so quickly that the teachers had to wade through waist-deep water to move equipment and books.

Mr. Tran Huu Liem, Vice Principal of Hoa Phong Secondary School, said that teaching equipment was moved in time so there was no major damage, mainly desks and chairs were soaked in water.
"The school is basically cleaned up, but we have to wait for the commune's announcement before students can return to school," said Mr. Liem.
Representatives from the Dak Lak Provincial Department of Education and Training stated that the unit has not yet compiled a full assessment of the damage, but has instructed schools to proactively clean up after the flood and ensure hygiene so that students can return to school as soon as possible.
Many residential areas around the school are still in disarray, with damaged roads, so students are temporarily unable to attend classes. Teachers continue to check on the safety of the students.

Many households remain isolated, and students are unable to attend school.
Although the floodwaters have receded, transportation remains severely damaged, many households are isolated, and students are unable to return to school.
According to the Provincial Civil Defense Command, heavy rains caused the collapse and washing away of 7 houses. In Cu Pui alone, about 920 houses are at risk of flooding, and many households remain isolated. Production losses include over 100,000 acacia seedlings; over 300 pigs and 4,900 chickens were swept away; and many irrigation works suffered severe landslides.

Forecasts indicate that by November 19th, the eastern part of the province will continue to receive 150-300mm of rain, with some areas exceeding 350mm; the floodwaters downstream of the Ba River will exceed alarm level 3 by approximately 0.5m. Therefore, the Provincial People's Committee continues to direct localities to implement flood prevention plans to minimize damage and ensure the safety of the people.
