In Son La province , continuous heavy rain from the night of July 24 to the morning of July 25 caused stream water to rise, flooding the rice fields of many households.
More dangerously, some traffic routes through the area have suffered serious landslides, with rocks and soil from the slopes spilling onto the road surface.
Specifically, the Na Ot - Co Noi route was paralyzed due to rocks rolling onto the road.
The Phieng Pan commune area and the Song Ma - Sop Cop road also experienced severe landslides, disrupting traffic. Motor vehicles and human resources were urgently mobilized to handle the landslides, ensuring traffic soon resumed smoothly.
According to the Meteorological and Hydrological Station of Son La province, from 1:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. on July 25, many places in the province had very heavy rain such as Chieng Hoa, Chieng Lao, Muong La, Ta Khoa, Moc Chau, Doan Ket, Tan Yen communes... The soil moisture model in many areas has reached saturation or near saturation (over 85%), further increasing the risk of landslides, rockslides and flash floods.
On the Nam Pan River (Son La Province), the water level is rising rapidly. The water level at Hat Lot station exceeds alert level 3. It is forecasted that from 1pm to 3pm today, the water level may exceed alert level 3 by up to 70cm. Although still lower than the historical flood peak in August 2018, the risk of landslides and flooding is very high.
In Lai Chau province , according to reports from the scene, the Lang Mo - Sin Ho route was completely blocked due to landslides occurring at many points on the morning of July 25.
Authorities were present to survey the current situation, arrange warning signs and appropriate traffic diversion plans.
People are advised not to travel on this route until the problem is fixed.
In Tuyen Quang province , heavy rains in recent days have also caused serious landslides on the Tan Trinh - Thong Nguyen inter-commune road, with the landslide volume reaching more than 1,600m³ of soil and rock, covering the road surface.
This is a vital traffic axis connecting many remote communes, so prolonged congestion is seriously affecting people's lives, freight transport and travel.
Mr. Vu The Phuong, Chairman of Thong Nguyen Commune People's Committee, said that the commune has inspected the scene, put up warning signs and directed forces to temporarily fix the situation to allow motorbikes to circulate.
However, the road was previously managed by the district and had not been handed over to the commune, so handling it was difficult.
In addition to the above locations, landslides are also occurring sporadically in many mountainous areas of provinces such as Phu Tho, Cao Bang, Lao Cai, etc.
The weather in the northern mountainous region is still very bad, with cloudy skies and high humidity. Meteorological agencies warn that heavy to very heavy rain may continue until July 25.
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Environment Nguyen Hoang Hiep signed an official dispatch on the evening of July 24, requesting all provinces and cities in the North and Thanh Hoa - Nghe An to monitor and continue to respond to floods and landslides. It is especially necessary to control traffic due to the risk of dangerous landslides during the rainy season.
