Quang Binh is hardest hit by Storm Trami, with 12 residents killed and over 32,000 houses flooded during the flood.
Vietnam's central region, which is struggling with the consequences of large-scale flooding caused by Storm Trami, is facing another spell of heavy rain in the first days of November, according to the National Centre for Hydrometeorological Forecasting.
"Torrential rain will continue in the central region in the first 10 days of November," the centre's director, Mai Van Khiem, told a meeting held on Thursday afternoon. "The rain is forecasted to be more severe between November 3-11."
Rain will focus on provinces from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai and then expand to some southern central regions, including Quang Nam and Phu Yen. The centre warns that large-scale flooding may occur in lowland and riverside areas, while mountainous localities should prepare for landslides.
Many localities in the central region have faced severe flooding as heavy rain triggered by Storm Trami swept through the region in late October. Quang Binh was hardest hit, with 12 residents killed and over 32,000 houses flooded during the flood.
As of Thursday afternoon, the floodwater had receded but remained 2.35 metres high on the Kien Giang River. More than 1,500 houses, mostly in Le Thuy and Quang Ninh districts, were still flooded.
