According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, from June to August, strong storms and tropical depressions will appear frequently in the East Sea, causing heavy rains, especially localized heavy rains in mountainous areas and urban areas. The consequences are flash floods, landslides, and urban flooding in many localities across the country, including Vinh Phuc .
Because most localities in the province have mountainous terrain, some places have steep slopes, many rivers and streams, many areas have unstable geological structures, during the rainy and stormy season, landslides are likely to occur, greatly affecting the safety of works, property and people's lives.
To proactively prevent and combat natural disasters (PCTT), especially landslides, flash floods, inundation, ensure safety of life, limit damage to people's and State's property, the Provincial Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue (PCTT&TKCN) issued a Decision approving the dike protection plan, protecting key dykes in 2025; and perfecting the PCTT&TKCN Steering Committee for Mong Cau cluster, Dai Lai lake, Lap Dinh lake.
Irrigation LLCs proactively inspect and ensure the safety of reservoirs and irrigation dams according to their management functions; prepare human resources, vehicles, and equipment to respond to incidents when there is heavy rain, ensuring absolute safety of reservoirs according to regulations; review areas isolated by rain and floods to have specific plans to ensure the supply of essential goods, and be ready to mobilize and bring them to the market to serve the people...
