Heavy rains in recent days have caused serious landslides in many areas, cutting off transport routes and isolating mountainous regions of Da Nang City. Local authorities and functional forces are urgently organising food, relief supplies, and essential goods for residents in the isolated areas.

Heavy rains and floods had caused 37 deaths, and left five missing and 78 injured across the country as of 8:30 on November 3, according to the Viet Nam Disaster and Dyke Management Authority under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment.

To ensure residents' safety and prevent hunger and disease outbreaks, the PM asked the Minister of Finance to immediately allocate rice from national reserves to flood-hit communities, based on requests from provincial authorities, including Quang Ngai. Implementation results should be reported to the PM by October 31.

Typhoon Matmo is moving into the East Sea/ South China Sea and is expected to intensify in the coming days, bringing the risk of rough seas, heavy rains and flooding across northern and north-central Viet Nam.
