After the flood, in the commune, some industrial tea growing areas of people in Duong Dau, Duong Cua, Duong Giang (Tien Phong village), near Ngan Pho river were affected by landslides, many tea trees were swept away.

After the water receded, people cleaned up mud and dirt on industrial tea trees.

In addition, about 20 hectares of industrial tea trees are also covered with moss and mud, which risks reducing productivity and output at the end of the harvest season.

Many areas of industrial tea trees were swept away by landslides.

On some inter-village and inter-commune roads, the road surface was eroded and peeled off. In particular, on the commune main road, from Truc Vac bridge to Dai Kim bridge (Quyet Thang village, Son Kim 2 commune), about ^20-30m3 of rock, soil, and trees from the high hillside were eroded and spilled onto the road.

At noon of the same day, Mr. Phan Tien Hung, Chairman of the People's Committee of Son Tien commune (Ha Tinh province) said that the rain had stopped in the area, the water level had basically leveled off and was forecast to recede.

Currently, no households in the locality have been flooded, but some inter-village roads in low-lying areas are still flooded. The deepest point of the flooded road is about 40-50cm, causing difficulties in traveling and potential safety risks.

Some low-lying traffic routes in Son Tien commune are still partially flooded.

Faced with that situation, local authorities have directed functional forces and villages to deploy solutions to ensure safety for people, especially in vulnerable areas.

Currently, Son Tien commune has about 151 hectares of summer-autumn rice crop flooded, at risk of severe damage.
