Heavy rains over a wide area since early morning on October 7 have led to a high risk of flooding in Hanoi's inner-city streets and low-lying areas such as Xuan Mai, Quang Bi, Phu Nghia, Hoa Phu, and Tran Phu. Water levels in the province's rivers could rise to alert level II to above alert level III, directly affecting the power grid, transformer stations, and transmission lines. In this situation, EVNHANOI has immediately activated emergency response scenarios, mobilizing more than 3,000 officers, workers, and shock teams to be ready 24/7 to monitor and handle incidents.

Since the beginning of storm No. 11, EVNHANOI has proactively strengthened the power grid, reinforced vulnerable points and ensured the operation of transformer stations at risk of flooding. Subsidiary units such as the Electricity Companies of the inner city and suburban areas have periodically inspected the power system in vulnerable areas, and closely coordinated with functional forces to promptly handle incidents caused by fallen trees and foreign objects colliding with power lines. Thanks to that, during the storm, the power system in Hanoi has been maintained safe and stable.

As of 12:00 on October 7, 13,943 customers in Hanoi were still temporarily without power due to flooding, mainly concentrated in central areas such as Ba Dinh (5,735 customers), Hoan Kiem (2,098 customers) and Ha Dong (2,884 customers). Some suburban areas such as Gia Lam, Tu Liem, Dong Anh, Soc Son, Son Tay, Thuong Tin and Ung Hoa also recorded flooding with 3,226 customers affected. Power units have mobilized maximum human resources, water pumping and drying equipment, and urgently restored transformer stations and power lines. Up to now, EVNHANOI has restored and restored power to 5,562 customers in the capital.

The most severely affected areas, such as Ba Dinh and Hoan Kiem, were given priority, with teams of technicians working around the clock, using drainage pumps and drying equipment to restore substations and power lines. As the water began to recede, EVNHANOI deployed task forces to move quickly to the most severely affected areas. In addition, EVNHANOI promptly issued recommendations reminding people to immediately cut off household electricity when there is a risk of flooding, and not to touch electrical equipment with wet hands or walk barefoot on wet floors.

With a spirit of constant readiness, EVNHANOI not only maintains the operation of the power system throughout the storm but also quickly restores power to flooded areas as soon as the water recedes, contributing to helping life and production quickly return to normal.
