Meanwhile, the flood situation on rivers in the Northern and North Central regions continues to be complicated. At 1:00 a.m. on October 2, the water level of the Lo River at Tuyen Quang station reached 26.29m, exceeding the alarm level 3 by 0.29m. Floods on the Cau River, Thuong River and Thai Binh River are also rising rapidly. In the next 6 hours, floods on the Lo River and Thuong River are likely to peak above alarm level 3; in the next 12 hours, floods on the Cau River will peak at alarm level 3, and on the Thai Binh River above alarm level 2; the downstream of the Ca River (Nghe An) will see little change, then gradually decrease but remain at a high level.

Flood risks have been warned in low-lying areas along rivers and urban areas in the North and from Thanh Hoa to Nghe An. The mountainous provinces of the North and North Central continue to face a high risk of flash floods and landslides due to heavy rains that have lasted for many days, causing soil and rocks to become saturated with water. Rising floods also seriously affect waterway traffic, aquaculture, agricultural production and people's lives.

Localities are advised to closely monitor the development of tropical depressions and floods; proactively prepare response plans to ensure safety for people, infrastructure and socio -economic activities.
