Rivers from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai province are at very high levels. Lowland and delta areas in these provinces are in danger of  flash floods and landslides.

Ha Tinh province on October 15 evacuated 1,000 families in Huong Son district to safe areas.

The provincial People’s Committee has directed local authorities and border guard soldiers to evacuate people from hazardous areas.

Two days ago, the province asked all districts and towns to implement emergency measures to minimise property and human losses.
