Due to the high mountainous terrain, many rocky mountains, prolonged heavy rains have created large and small waterfalls, separating communes and villages. According to statistics, there are currently 8 villages of Tri Le commune (including Ban Don, Chay Ai, Chot, Huoi Moi 1, Huoi Moi 2, Huoi Xai 1, Huoi Xai 2, Muong Long) and Nam Giai commune completely isolated. Currently, the villages are still unable to contact by phone, and the damage cannot be estimated.
