The Hue City Civil Defense Command has just requested owners of reservoirs, hydroelectric dams, and irrigation works to develop specific operation and regulation plans according to forecasted rain scenarios, especially for situations of heavy rain occurring during the forecast period from October 20-25 and the last days of October, in order to proactively plan reasonable operations, both ensuring the safety of reservoirs and contributing to flood reduction for downstream areas.

At the same time, regularly check and detect locations at risk of landslides along the lake, upstream and downstream areas of key works, proactively prevent landslides on hillsides and river banks downstream of dams and spillways, which limit flood drainage capacity and threaten the safety of project operations in all situations.
