According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, in the past 12 hours (from 1:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on December 10), the areas of Dak Lak and Khanh Hoa provinces have had moderate to heavy rain, such as: EaTrol 108mm, Song Hinh4 92.2mm (Dak Lak); Khanh Hiep 108.4mm (Khanh Hoa);...
Soil moisture models show that some areas in the above provinces are nearly saturated (over 85%) or have reached a saturated state.
In the next 3 - 6 hours (from 1:30 p.m. on December 10), the above provinces will continue to have rain with accumulated rainfall ranging from 10 - 40mm, some places over 70mm.
In the next 6 hours (from 1:30 p.m. on December 10), there is a risk of flash floods on small rivers and streams, landslides on steep slopes in many communes/wards.
The warning level of natural disaster risk due to flash floods, landslides, and land subsidence due to heavy rain or water flow is level 1. Flash floods and landslides can have a very negative impact on the environment, threatening people's lives; causing local traffic congestion, affecting the movement of vehicles.
The meteorological agency recommends that local authorities pay attention to reviewing bottlenecks and vulnerable locations in the area to take preventive and response measures.
