At noon on August 31, Mr. Cao Ky Vi, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Son Kim 2 commune ( Ha Tinh province), said that the rain had stopped and the area was dry, and the water had receded from some roads and bridges that had been flooded earlier.

After the floodwaters receded, local authorities and residents quickly cleaned up the mud and debris, ensuring smooth and safe traffic flow.

As the floodwaters receded, residents and authorities cleaned up mud, debris, and trash to ensure traffic safety.

Following the floods, some areas of industrial tea plantations belonging to local people in Duong Dau, Duong Cua, and Duong Giang (Tien Phong village), near the Ngan Pho River, were affected by landslides, and many tea plants were swept away.

After the floodwaters receded, locals cleaned up the mud and debris from the tea plantations.

In addition, about 20 hectares of industrial tea plants are also covered with moss, debris, and mud, posing a risk of reducing yield and production at the end of the harvest season.

Large areas of industrial tea plantations were swept away by landslides.

On some inter-village and inter-commune roads, erosion and surface peeling have occurred. In particular, on the main commune road, the section from Truc Vac Bridge to Dai Kim Bridge (Quyet Thang village, Son Kim 2 commune), approximately 20-30 ^{cubic meters} of soil, rocks, and trees from the high hillside have slid down onto the road.

Currently, no households in the locality have been affected by flooding, but some inter-village roads in low-lying areas are still submerged. The deepest flooded sections are approximately 40-50cm deep, causing difficulties in travel and posing potential safety risks.

Some roads in low-lying areas of Son Tien commune are still partially flooded.
