According to the People's Committee of Le Thuy district, from the night of May 10 to the afternoon of May 11, 2025, the area will experience widespread thunderstorms with measured rainfall at some stations such as Lam Thuy (53.8mm), An Ma (58.2mm), Thai Thuy (36.2mm)... accompanied by strong winds. Unfavorable weather conditions have caused many areas of winter-spring rice during the harvest period to be severely affected.
As of 15:00 on May 11, the whole district recorded 355 hectares of rice falling. The most severe communes include: Tan Thuy (65ha), Hoa Thuy (60ha), Phu Thuy (53ha), Son Thuy (58ha), Xuan Thuy (48ha). Some other localities such as Mai Thuy, Hong Thuy, Lien Thuy and My Thuy are also affected with an area of 5 to 30 hectares.
Faced with the above situation, the People's Committee of the district has directed departments, branches and People's Committees of communes and towns to urgently deploy response plans, mobilize forces to harvest rice early in areas at risk of flooding, minimizing damage to people. At the same time, the district has issued a document requesting localities to be on duty 24/7, proactively mobilizing materials and human resources to promptly handle arising situations.
The district has also organized inspections at vulnerable dykes, requesting the review of high-risk points to have rescue plans when heavy rain continues. Standing forces for natural disaster prevention in communes have been activated, ensuring readiness to respond to all situations during this year's minor floods.
