On the afternoon of October 5, the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting warned that from October 5 to 7, heavy rain will hit areas from Ha Tinh to Quang Tri, later expanding to Da Nang City and the eastern part of Quang Ngai Province. Rainfall is expected to reach 50 to 100 mm, with localized spots receiving over 200 mm.
In light of the natural hazards, the National Steering Committee for Civil Defense requested local authorities to closely monitor rain and flood developments, while reviewing and proactively evacuating residents from high-risk zones subject to deep flooding, flash floods, and landslides. Local officials must also manage traffic at deeply flooded spots, fast-flowing waters, and landslide areas, preventing people and vehicles from crossing if safety cannot be assured.
Localities were further directed to inspect and ensure the safety of reservoirs, ongoing construction projects, and underground mineral mining shafts. Authorities must proactively regulate hydroelectric and irrigation reservoirs to prepare for floodwaters, guaranteeing the safety of both structural works and downstream areas.
