12 provinces and cities have high warning levels for flash floods and landslides due to heavy rains in the next 6 hours.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warns that in the next 6 hours, there is a risk of flash floods on small rivers and streams, and landslides on steep slopes in many communes and wards.

Specifically, in the past 24 hours (from 4:00 a.m. on October 7 to 4:00 a.m. on October 8), the Northern provinces and Thanh Hoa had moderate rain, heavy rain, and very heavy rain in some places such as: Mu Ca 89.2mm ( Lai Chau ); Doan Ket 175.8mm (Phu Tho); Trinh Tuong 220mm (Lao Cai); Hoang Khai 202.8mm (Tuyen Quang); Cay Thi 292.7mm (Thai Nguyen).

Nuoc Hai 170.4mm (Cao Bang); Tan Tri 87.4mm (Lang Son); Xuan Huong 198.8mm ( Bac Ninh ); Vung Su Lake 72.6mm (Thanh Hoa);... In the past 6 hours (from 10:00 p.m. on October 7 to 4:00 a.m. on October 8), Hai Phong city and Nghe An province had moderate rain, some places had heavy rain such as: Cat Ba 103mm (Hai Phong city); Que Phong 64.6mm (Nghe An);...

Soil moisture models show that some areas in the above provinces are close to saturation (over 85%) or have reached saturation.

Map of flash flood and landslide risk in the areas

It is forecasted that in the next 3-6 hours, the above provinces will continue to have rain with common accumulated rainfall as follows: Phu Tho, Quang Ninh and Hai Phong City from 20-50mm, some places over 90mm; Lai Chau, Tuyen Quang , Bac Ninh and Thanh Hoa from 20-40mm, some places over 80mm; other areas in the North from 5-15mm, some places over 40mm.

Recently, in the mountainous areas of the Northern provinces, there has been continuous heavy rain, the soil and rocks are saturated, floods on rivers are still at high levels (especially in Cao Bang, there has been an earthquake), so there is a high risk of landslides even when the rain has reduced or stopped.

Note, in the next 6 hours, there is a risk of flash floods on small rivers and streams, and landslides on steep slopes in many communes/wards.

List of areas at risk of flash floods and landslides in the next 6 hours

In particular, 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 National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting recommends that local authorities pay attention to reviewing bottlenecks and vulnerable locations in the area to have prevention and response measures.
