This preparedness effort follows devastating weather in 2025, which resulted in 22 deaths, 20 injuries, and infrastructure damage estimated at approximately 6,018 billion VND. Authorities are specifically preparing for scenarios where rainfall reaches 200-500mm within a 24-hour period, which could cause river levels to exceed alarm level 3 by more than one meter.
