High tides in the Northern coastal area decrease slowly, warning of flooding lasting 4-8 hours per day

According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the past 24 hours, the highest water level at Hon Dau station has been gradually decreasing. The highest tide at Hon Dau station ( Hai Phong city) reached 4.06m at 7:20 am on December 9.

It is forecasted that from the evening of December 9-10, the water level along the Northern coast is at a high level and tends to gradually decrease. The highest tide of the day at Hon Dau station is likely to reach 4.00-4.10m, with the peak tide appearing from 4-8am.

Forecast from December 11-12: Water levels along the Northern coast are high and tend to decrease. The highest water level at Hon Dau is forecast to reach 3.90-4.00m.

This is a high tide period, low-lying areas along the coast, along rivers, and areas outside the dike are likely to be flooded for 4-8 hours every day. High tides will slow down the flood drainage process on the river system in the area. In the morning, it is necessary to be on guard against strong offshore currents when the tide recedes, which is dangerous for maritime activities and sea tourism , especially at ports and beaches.

To proactively respond and minimize damage caused by high tides causing flooding in the coming time, the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment recommends that affected provinces and cities closely monitor forecasts and warnings, and promptly inform authorities and people at all levels to proactively prevent them.

Authorities inspect and review coastal residential areas, dykes, dams, low-lying areas with high risk of flooding to proactively organize the relocation and evacuation of people when situations arise; clear the flow, and promptly handle construction incidents from the first hour.

Provinces and cities are ready to deploy measures to drain water and protect production; reinforce and protect aquaculture ponds; harvest crops and dry crops that are ready for harvest; prevent and combat flooding in urban areas and low-lying areas, ensuring minimal damage; notify owners of water transport vehicles about flooding to proactively take measures to ensure safety for people, vehicles, equipment and works.
