Flooding and emergency response in Nghe An

Overview

Heavy rainfall and flooding in Nghe An province have caused significant logistical challenges and safety risks for local residents. In early September, flooding and the destruction of a temporary bridge in Yen Hoa commune necessitated the use of boats to transport approximately 150 students and teachers to school opening ceremonies. During this period, community initiatives such as the ‘Border Sentiment’ program provided scholarships, bicycles, and essential goods to disadvantaged families in Chau Khe commune. By mid-September, the situation escalated as rising water levels submerged multiple bridges on Provincial Road 541B. Emergency rescue teams involving police and military forces were required to transport a medical patient through flooded crossings using ropes. The flooding has isolated seven villages in Tam Thai commune, affecting over 3,000 residents and 631 households. Local authorities have implemented travel prohibitions in flooded areas due to ongoing heavy rain and the risk of landslides. Recent rescue efforts in Nghe An have included the transport of a woman with suspected acute appendicitis across three flooded bridges using ropes. In Chau Tien commune, a local cafe owner, Nguyen Van Cao, rescued an elderly woman who had been swept away by strong currents in the Hieu River. Additionally, ten individuals were rescued in Yen Hoa commune after their boat was swept away by rising waters. The impact has expanded across northern and north-central Vietnam. Severe rainfall has caused landslides in Phu Tho province, resulting in at least three deaths. Flooding has submerged nearly 20,000 houses, with streets in Hanoi reaching water levels of over two meters. In Thanh Hoa province, 15 schools were flooded, leading to the suspension of classes. Agricultural damage is extensive, with approximately 25,000 hectares of rice fields and other crops submerged.
