According to Mr. Buon, the flood caused many serious consequences. The main traffic routes to the commune center and roads leading to residential areas were all cut off by landslides with many serious landslides, making travel very difficult.

In addition, many electric poles were knocked down, causing power outages in the entire commune; the domestic water supply system was also severely damaged. The telecommunications network and telephone signals were almost non-existent or only intermittent in some areas, greatly affecting the communication, direction and operation of the local government.

In particular, the area of the Hung Son Commune People's Committee headquarters is experiencing serious landslides. The walls are cracked, the structure is skewed, and some offices are flooded with rocks and soil, posing a high risk of safety. "If the heavy rain continues, there is a possibility that the headquarters will collapse," said Mr. Buon.

Hung Son Commune authorities recommend that people do not go near the commune headquarters and locations showing signs of cracks, subsidence, and landslides to ensure the safety of life and property.

Currently, local forces are making efforts to overcome the consequences, focusing on clearing rocks and soil, clearing cut-off roads, and gradually restoring traffic.

Due to the complicated weather conditions, the Hung Son Commune authorities have asked people to limit their travel and absolutely avoid areas that are deeply flooded or at risk of landslides. All official information will be continuously updated by the commune as soon as conditions permit.
