On June 12, the People's Committee of Gia Lai province issued an official dispatch requesting owners of lakes, dams, and hydropower plants in the area to closely monitor rainfall and water levels in reservoirs.
Lake and dam management units must operate and regulate water appropriately to ensure safety for works and downstream areas, especially in small lakes, dams and hydroelectric power plants.
According to the forecast, the total rainfall in the area is generally from 60 - 120mm, some places over 160mm; in the eastern part of the province, it ranges from 40 - 80mm, some places over 100mm.
The Provincial People's Committee requests localities to inspect and review residential areas along rivers, streams, and low-lying areas to proactively clear the flow, and at the same time prepare plans to relocate and evacuate people from areas at risk of deep flooding, flash floods and landslides.
The grassroots government needs to put up warning signs at culverts, spillways, deeply flooded areas, fast-flowing water and resolutely not allowing people and vehicles to pass when safety is not guaranteed.
In Kon Tum, according to the forecast of the Provincial Hydrometeorological Station, from the morning of June 12 to the morning of June 14, 2025, there will continue to be moderate rain, heavy rain, and very heavy rain in some places.
The expected rainfall ranges from 60 - 120mm, some areas may exceed 140mm. From June 14, heavy rain will tend to decrease and end.
The Hydrometeorological Station warns that prolonged heavy rain can cause flooding in low-lying areas, flash floods in small streams and landslides in areas with steep terrain, threatening people's lives, daily life and production.
In addition, heavy rain can cause material damage, affect the environment, damage bridges, dams and traffic routes.
In this situation, local authorities need to proactively deploy shock forces, organize timely response, evacuate and relocate people in high-risk areas, and ensure the safety of people and property.
