Dong Nai: Heavy rains cause flooding in Binh An commune; emergency evacuation of people and property.

In the early morning of September 12th, heavy and prolonged rainfall caused localized flooding in Binh An commune, formerly Long Thanh district (now part of Dong Nai province), particularly in the area bordering Giang Dien stream, An Binh hamlet.

Authorities are moving residents' belongings to a safe location.

Rising stream levels have severely affected several households in hamlets 2 and 6, with four households experiencing deep flooding and requiring urgent relocation.

Immediately after assessing the situation, the Regional Defense Command 1 coordinated with the Binh An commune authorities to deploy rescue forces. The commune's military forces quickly organized assistance in relocating people and property. However, due to the strong current, one household remains inaccessible.

The Regional Defense Command 1 dispatched 4 officers, 10 permanent militia soldiers, along with equipment including 1 truck, 1 speedboat, 1 handboat, 15 life jackets, and various rescue devices to the scene.

Currently, authorities are on standby, closely monitoring the flood situation and ready to deploy further rescue plans to ensure the absolute safety of people in the flooded areas.
