On the evening of November 6, the authorities of communes and wards in the Gia Lai plateau area warned people not to move through the overflowing culverts along rivers and streams when the water level rose.
From this afternoon, due to the impact of storm No. 13, heavy rain caused water from upstream to flow into streams, causing water levels to rise in some spillways.
Police in communes such as Bien Ho, Kbang, Ia Tul, Ia Pa, Ayun Pa... have organized patrols, put up warning signs, reminded people not to go through areas with high and dangerous water.
This is the coffee harvest time, so people in mountainous areas often go to the fields to watch, harvest and return home late in the evening. Right when the groundwater is high, this poses a potential risk of accidents and being swept away by the water.
Since the afternoon of the same day, the authorities of the communes have advised people: In the afternoon and evening of November 6, anyone who is working in the fields or sleeping away from home should quickly return to a safe place, not stay in the camp overnight to avoid storms, landslides, and flash floods.
People are also advised to urgently move assets such as motorbikes, cars, pumps, rice, straw, livestock, etc. to high, safe places to avoid flooding.
