At Thuan Trung commune, comrade Le Hong Vinh also inspected the Do Cung bridge area.
At the inspection points, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh emphasized that the current weather is very complicated and unpredictable, the water level of Ban Ve Hydropower Plant is at 199.65m, so flood regulation in the upper reaches of the Ca River will still be carried out, so the water level of the Ca River may rise if it continues to rain.
To minimize damage caused by rising river water, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh requested the agricultural sector and localities to focus on flood and storm prevention.

Localities need to propagate to people to concentrate on harvesting crops in coastal and riverside areas before the river water rises. For residential areas outside the river, flood-prone areas, local authorities and organizations, armed forces need to support people to put their properties on high ground to avoid flooding when the Ca River water rises.
In addition, it is necessary to ensure electrical safety during floods. Absolutely do not let people go to the river to catch fish or collect firewood to avoid unfortunate risks.
At areas at risk of deep flooding, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Hong Vinh requested communes to assign people to be on duty 24/7 and not allow people to pass through these areas.
The Department of Agriculture and Environment needs to concentrate human and material resources at key dike points so that when an incident occurs, measures can be taken to handle it right from the start.
