The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting also warned of the risk of flash floods, landslides, and land subsidence on steep slopes and small streams in Lai Chau, Lao Cai, and Ha Giang provinces.

Flash floods and landslides can have very negative impacts on the environment, threaten people's lives; cause local traffic congestion, affect the movement of vehicles; destroy civil and economic works, causing damage to production and socio-economic activities.

The hydrometeorological agency noted that people need to regularly monitor forecast and warning information on the website of the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting at nchmf.gov.vn, provincial, municipal and regional Hydrometeorological Stations, and regularly update the latest hydrometeorological forecast information on the official mass media of the Central and local levels to proactively respond, and at the same time recommend that local authorities in affected areas pay attention to reviewing bottlenecks and vulnerable locations in the area to take preventive measures.

According to the guidance of the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control (Ministry of Agriculture and Environment), in the face of the above situation, affected areas should closely monitor developments of heavy rain, floods, flash floods, landslides, and promptly and fully inform authorities at all levels and people to proactively prevent, respond, and minimize damage.

Localities deploy shock forces to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, and low-lying areas to proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people in areas at high risk of deep flooding, flash floods, and landslides; organize forces ready to control and direct traffic, and place warning signs, especially through culverts, spillways, and areas with deep flooding and fast-flowing water; proactively arrange forces, materials, and means to overcome incidents, ensuring smooth traffic on main traffic routes when heavy rain occurs...
