In addition, on the day and night of December 9, the Central Highlands and the South will have scattered showers and thunderstorms with rainfall of 15-30mm, with some places experiencing heavy rain of over 80mm (rain concentrated in the evening and at night). From the night of December 10, heavy rain in the above areas is likely to gradually decrease. The risk of natural disasters due to heavy rain, tornadoes, lightning, and hail is level 1.

Heavy rains are likely to cause flooding in low-lying areas, urban and industrial areas; flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on steep slopes (real-time warning information on areas at risk of flash floods and landslides is provided online on the website of the Department of Hydrometeorology at: https://luquetsatlo.nchmf.gov.vn and in separate bulletins warning of flash floods and landslides).

Flash floods and landslides can have very negative impacts on the environment, threaten people's lives; cause local traffic congestion, affect the movement of vehicles; destroy civil and economic works, causing damage to production and socio-economic activities.

The hydrometeorological agency noted that people need to regularly monitor forecast and warning information on the website of the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting at nchmf.gov.vn, the provincial, municipal and regional Hydrometeorological Stations, and regularly update the latest hydrometeorological forecast information on the official mass media of the Central and local levels to proactively respond, and at the same time recommend that the authorities in the affected localities pay attention to reviewing the flow bottlenecks and vulnerable locations in the area to have preventive and response measures.

According to the guidance of the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control ( Ministry of Agriculture and Environment ), in the face of the above situation, affected areas should closely monitor developments of heavy rain, floods, flash floods, landslides, and promptly and fully inform authorities and people at all levels to proactively prevent, respond, and minimize damage.

Localities deploy shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, and low-lying areas to proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people in areas at high risk of deep flooding, flash floods, and landslides; organize forces ready to control and guide traffic, and put up warning signs, especially through culverts, spillways, and areas with deep flooding and fast-flowing water; proactively arrange forces, materials, and means to overcome incidents, ensuring smooth traffic on main traffic routes when heavy rain occurs...
