Nearly 800 communes and wards in 11 provinces are at risk of flash floods and landslides.

Prolonged heavy rains make the soil "saturated" with water, increasing the risk flash floods, landslides in the coming hours in the provinces of Son La, Phu Tho, Lao Cai, Tuyen Quang, Thai Nguyen, Cao Bang, Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Bac Ninh , Thanh Hoa and Nghe An.

The National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting has raised the risk level of natural disasters caused by flash floods, landslides, and land subsidence to level 3 for the provinces of Cao Bang , Lao Cai, Phu Tho, and Tuyen Quang; while the risk level for Thai Nguyen and Thanh Hoa provinces is at level 2.
