Observations in the Nhu Nguyet street area (Hai Chau ward) show that large waves continuously appear due to the Han River flowing back from the sea, crashing violently against the embankment and causing many strong impacts. Several lampposts, benches, and sidewalks were damaged, and many sections of the railings were knocked down.

In response to this situation, authorities mobilized personnel and equipment, using bags of rocks and sandbags for initial remediation at high-risk areas. However, large waves continued to surge in, hindering remediation efforts.

Currently, barricades have been erected along Nhu Nguyet road to restrict people's access to the dangerous area due to the risk of deep flooding and the presence of debris and rocks.
