Chairman of Khanh Hoa Provincial People's Committee Tran Phong said that from November 16 to 21, the whole province experienced heavy rains over a wide area, especially on November 19 and 20, the rainfall exceeded many historical milestones. The storm circulation combined with heavy rain caused the water level of rivers and streams to rise suddenly, causing flooding from 1-3m deep in a series of residential areas along the river.
Many important national highways such as 27C, 27B, 26, 26B, 1B as well as provincial and district roads were cut off. At Khanh Le and Khanh Son passes, serious landslides caused human casualties and significantly hindered rescue work.
Faced with extremely complicated developments, Khanh Hoa province has activated all disaster response plans at the highest risk level, mobilizing the entire political system. Working groups of the Provincial Party Standing Committee and the Provincial People's Committee are constantly present in vulnerable areas to directly direct and support the people. In the deeply flooded area of Zone 18, the authorities used canoes, motorboats and many special vehicles to approach each household, bringing the elderly, children, pregnant women and people with disabilities to safety.
On behalf of the leaders of the Party, State and the Central Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front, Standing member of the Secretariat Tran Cam Tu presented 20 billion VND to support Khanh Hoa province to overcome the consequences of floods.

In addition, businesses, social organizations and philanthropists inside and outside the province also actively supported vehicles, supplies and relief goods to join hands to help people in the damaged areas.
According to initial statistics, the whole province has 15,396 households with more than 48,000 people affected by floods; nearly 3,300 households had to be urgently evacuated. Human losses recorded 14 deaths, 1 missing person and 20 injured people. In the agricultural sector, more than 13,300 hectares of crops were damaged; more than 24,000 poultry and 241 livestock were swept away. Hundreds of irrigation works were eroded, many inter-district and inter-commune roads were buried. The total initial damage is estimated at more than 1,000 billion VND, not including many other losses of people and businesses.

The agricultural sector supports people in draining water and preparing to restore production. The transportation sector focuses on leveling rocks and soil, handling landslides to gradually clear routes. The electricity sector mobilizes forces to restore power supply to hospitals, government agencies and key residential areas. Telecommunications companies set up mobile broadcasting stations and fix cable breaks to maintain communication for command and control. Evacuation points are guaranteed adequate food, accommodation and medical care.
