In Thai Nguyen, provincial officials have established deadlines for urgent flood prevention and control projects. Chairman Nguyen The Manh has called for the resolution of bottlenecks, specifically regarding land clearance and resettlement, to advance works such as the Huu Cau dike system and the Gia Bay bridge project.

Simultaneously, in Dong Nai, the People's Committee has issued directives to combat severe flooding in the Buong River area. Authorities have linked the flooding to the construction of the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau Expressway and have ordered contractors to dismantle temporary structures to restore the river's natural state. Long-term measures include a comprehensive drainage plan for the Buong River basin and the removal of illegal obstructions to water flow.
