On the night of September 17 and early morning of September 18, heavy rains occurred in Madaguoi town and Madaguoi commune (Da Huoai district, Lam Dong), causing severe flooding in many places.
In Madaguoi town, heavy rain caused severe flooding on Highway 20 through the section of road where the drainage system is being constructed. Here, the water was more than 0.5m deep, causing local traffic jams.
Traffic police are present to regulate and guide traffic safety.
In addition, inner-city roads in Madaguoi town such as Ngo Quyen, Vo Thi Sau, Phan Chu Trinh and 30/4 street were locally flooded from 0.4 - 0.5m, causing erosion and risk of landslides in the near future.
Heavy rains caused water to rise, flooding the streets, entering dozens of households' houses and causing landslides in residential group 9 (Madaguoi town). One household had to evacuate to ensure safety.
In Madaguoi commune, prolonged heavy rain caused provincial road 721 through the commune to be deeply flooded, causing local traffic jams for more than an hour. Many residential roads were also flooded, causing vehicles to stall, making it difficult to travel.
Some houses near the stream were flooded, forcing people to move their belongings to safety; many areas of crops were also submerged.
After heavy rain caused flooding, the People's Committee of Madaguoi town and Madaguoi commune mobilized local forces to help households affected by local flooding clean up and reinforce their houses.
