Over the past few days, torrential rain has submerged Plei Du Village in Chu Rang Commune and Mo Nang 2 Village in Kim Tan Commune in Ia Pa District, putting up to 528 local households under water.
Mo Nang 2 Village is severely flooded
Among those, 217 households with a total of 946 people are in Plei Du Village and 311 households with 1,374 people are from Mo Nang 2 Village.
Local authorities have warned people to avoid flooded and vulnerable areas to ensure safety. They have also arranged security officers in these areas to prevent people and vehicles from entering.Students from the two villages currently have to stay at home.
Nguyen Minh Truong, party secretary of Ia Pa District, said the two villages often flood during the rainy season because of their low-lying location. Therefore, when it rains heavily, water from the upper reaches of Dak Pi Hao Stream usually flows into them, causing inundation.
According to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, central localities from Thanh Hoa to Quang Tri may face a widespread rainy front during October 10-13.
