Quick information from the People's Committee of An Lac commune, by 11am on the 29th, the flood rose rapidly, isolating many villages and hamlets in the area. Currently, 9/9 spillways are deeply flooded.

Van Son commune authorities assisted people in moving their property to higher ground to avoid being swept away by floodwaters.

In anticipation of the dangerous flood situation, from the evening of September 28 and the morning of September 29, An Lac Kindergarten allowed 189 students to stay home from school.
