The North Canal dredging team of the drainage management team (Vinh Urban Infrastructure Development and Management Joint Stock Company) cleared the flow at the intersection of Le Nin Avenue and Nguyen Sy Sach Street to avoid local flooding.

In Vinh City, storm prevention preparations have basically been completed. Mr. Nguyen Hoang Cu, head of the drainage management team (Vinh Urban Infrastructure Development and Management Joint Stock Company) announced that since September 29, the company had a meeting to develop a specific plan for drainage during storm No. 10. Specifically, the team has divided into 2 groups, dredging the North Canal and dredging manholes, avoiding the situation of garbage accumulation causing local flooding. In addition, the 2 pumping stations Vinh Tan and Cau Den have coordinated with the Electricity Department to be ready to turn on 3-phase power when the water level rises, and at the same time, turn on the generator 24/24 to serve these 2 pumping stations. Because if these 2 stations stop operating for only about 30 minutes, the water level in Vinh City will rise more than 1 meter.

Until 5:30 p.m. on September 30, the Company's professional teams were still dredging and collecting trash at Rao Dung culvert (the drainage route to the sea via Nghi Thai). However, according to the proposal of the drainage management team (Vinh Urban Infrastructure Development and Management Joint Stock Company), because the amount of water flowing into the sea from Vinh City and Nghi Thai is very large, while Rao Dung culvert only has 10 culverts, the number of culverts must be doubled to drain and discharge flood water for Vinh City as quickly as possible.
