Warning of the impact of heavy rain, risk of flooding
Below is the text rewritten for easier reading and understanding:
According to the Center for Hydrometeorology, heavy rain and localized heavy rain can cause flooding in low-lying areas; flash floods on small rivers and streams and landslides on steep slopes. Provinces at high risk of flooding in low-lying areas along rivers include: Lang Son, Cao Bang, Lao Cai, Yen Bai, Phu Tho, Bac Giang, Bac Kan, Thai Nguyen and Hoa Binh. The mountainous areas of the North are also at high risk of flash floods and landslides.
Flood risk warning is currently at level 3.
In addition, the meteorological agency also warned that floods on rivers and streams could cause flooding in low-lying areas along rivers, causing river banks to be encroached by water, many areas of floating flats in the middle of the river to be deeply flooded, affecting waterway traffic, aquaculture, agricultural production, people's lives and socio-economic activities in the downstream areas of Lo River, Red River and Thai Binh River.
Flood water levels in the downstream of the Red River and Thai Binh River remain high for many days, possibly causing landslides along the rivers and affecting the safety of dykes in the riverside areas of the Red River - Thai Binh Delta.
* Real-time warning information on areas at risk of flash floods and landslides is updated online on the website of the General Department of Hydrometeorology at: https://luquetsatlo.nchmf.gov.vn and in separate flash flood and landslide warning bulletins.
