Heavy rains on October 25 and 26 have affected people's lives and production in some central provinces. It is forecasted that by October 29, heavy rains will cause floods on rivers in Hue city and Quang Ngai province to continue rising, posing a risk of widespread flooding.

Vietnam Railways Corporation is directing units to adjust their train operation and operation plans to reduce the number of trains passing through or stopping in areas affected by natural disasters; develop plans to preserve goods, transport spare materials, transfer passengers, and prepare enough food, drinking water, medicine, and medical supplies in case trains have to stop due to floods.

At the same time, agencies, units and localities organize inspections of works and key locations at risk of insecurity caused by rain and floods and reinforce them to ensure train safety; strictly implement patrol and guard regimes for works and key locations and key areas such as bridges, tunnels, weak roads, roads prone to flooding, railway signal information works, ensuring smooth communication, serving train safety; areas prone to flash floods, steep mountain passes, rock falls, landslides, railway areas downstream of dikes, irrigation dams, and reservoirs.

Previously, due to the impact of storm No. 12, which is expected to cause heavy rain in the Hue - Da Nang area, the railway industry will stop running two pairs of trains HD1/2 and HD3/4 on the Hue - Da Nang route on October 23 and 24, 2025.
