In A Doi commune, information from the People's Committee of the commune said that there were 3 flooded spots due to heavy rain at the overflow culverts of Loa and Xa Tuong villages, causing the road through the commune to be isolated in sections.

The leaders of Ba Tang Primary and Secondary Boarding School have asked for permission from their superiors to let students stay home to ensure safety. Only one school in a safe area continues to organize classes. Currently, 11 teachers of the school are stuck at Km38 of DT.586 and are temporarily staying at local people's houses. To ensure safety, the A Doi commune authorities have put up warning signs, prohibiting passage at the overflow tunnels, and have assigned forces to be on duty and monitor locations at risk of flooding and landslides.

In La Lay commune, heavy rain also caused the overflow bridges in the area to be flooded from 1.2 to 1.5 meters high. In particular, the overflow bridges on National Highway 15D, the inter-commune road Ta Rut - A Vao (old), Ky Ne and A Deng villages... were partially flooded. The local authorities sent forces to set up checkpoints to prevent people and vehicles from passing. The areas of A Ngo and A Deng villages were isolated.
