However, through monitoring, the leaders of the communes said that the water level of both rivers has stopped and is decreasing. According to the reflection of people in Trung Gia commune, since noon today, the water has stopped and gradually receded. At the Tan Hung dike area and National Highway 3, Pho Ni section, the water has receded dozens of centimeters, but private cars still cannot pass.

Currently, people in An Lac village - one of the most flooded areas in Trung Gia commune - are more assured and predict that around noon or afternoon on October 11, the water will completely recede from the foundation of their houses. People are also ready to move their houses as the water recedes, ensuring environmental hygiene and disease prevention.
