According to the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee, prolonged heavy rains caused the Ha Thanh River to rise abnormally, causing deep and widespread flooding downstream. Some locations in the old Quy Nhon City area recorded water levels exceeding the historical flood peak of 2009.

It is forecasted that from today, November 19 to the morning of November 20, heavy rain will continue to cover the entire province with the possibility of "exceptionally high" intensity. This means that the risk of widespread flooding , even deep flooding, may continue to occur in many residential areas and along rivers and streams.
The Chairman of the Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee requested the Provincial Military Command and the Provincial Police to increase forces and mobile vehicles to immediately go to flooded and isolated areas to support the evacuation of people, protect property and maintain security and order. Units must arrange forces to be on duty 24/7, especially in vulnerable areas with the risk of prolonged flooding, in order to promptly access and provide relief food, provisions and necessities to people.
