Local authorities in northern communes are proactively implementing the 4 on-site motto; urgently reviewing and inspecting landslide locations and landslide risks to develop plans to relocate residents.

Local forces also helped people overcome the consequences of local flooding.

Currently, in Thai Nguyen , the risk of landslides and flash floods is at a high level. The authorities warn that highland localities such as Cho Moi, Kim Phuong, Than Sa, Thanh Mai, Thanh Thinh, Vo Nhai, Yen Trach, etc. are at risk and need to closely monitor weather developments to proactively respond.
