Accordingly, in the early morning of October 28th, heavy rains severed the road through Ngoc Nang village, cutting off traffic. Currently, all five villages of Ngoc Nang, Mo Po, Xa Ua, Ngoc Lan, and Tu Rang, with dozens of households, are completely isolated. Authorities were only able to evacuate more than 11 households in the dangerous area of ​​Ngoc Nang village to a safe location.

"Currently, local authorities and relevant forces are making efforts to reach the five isolated villages and implement emergency evacuation plans; preparing essential supplies, food, and medicine to provide when people need them.
