According to the latest update from Hanoi Drainage Company, the city recorded average rainfall of 100mm–180mm, with localized peaks of 348mm in Vinh Thanh, 334mm in O Cho Dua, 248mm in Tu Liem and 257mm in Dai Mo.
The Hanoi Department of Construction reported that, as of 10 a.m., water had receded at one location, allowing normal traffic flow. However, 122 areas remained flooded citywide, including 93 passable and 23 severely inundated and impassable.
Flooding has been reported across all parts of Hanoi in the To Lich River basin, the Nhue River basin, and the Long Bien River basin.
To address the flooding situation, 25 water drainage pumping stations across the city are currently operating at full capacity. Meanwhile, drainage workers are making continuous efforts to remove water, clear debris, open regulating lakes, and maximize the operation of pumping stations to lower water levels across the system.
At multiple flooded sites, workers have been stationed to monitor the situation and install warning signs to ensure the safety of pedestrians and vehicles. In areas where water levels range from 20 centimeters to 30 centimeters, authorities have also deployed personnel on site to direct traffic in addition to the above measures.
As for sites where flooding exceeds 30 centimeters, authorities have conducted road closures, with barriers and warning signs put in place. Traffic police, road management units, drainage companies and local authorities have coordinated on-site operations and traffic control.
