Red River flooded on September 12

After days of heavy rain, on the afternoon of September 12, Hanoi's weather was sunny and cool.

The flood on the Red River (Hanoi) peaked at 11.30m at 2am on September 12, 0.20m below the third flood alert level and is decreasing. At 12pm today, the water level on the Red River in Long Bien district (Hanoi) was at 11.08m (0.42m below the third flood alert level, down 12cm from 7am).

Historically high water levels have submerged many people's homes and crops.

A houseboat is floating under Long Bien bridge (Ngoc Thuy section, Gia Lam).

Huge amounts of garbage piled up around the foot of the bridge and under the bridge.

Long Bien Bridge is deserted due to the temporary suspension of traffic order by Hanoi People's Committee from 3:00 p.m. on September 10.

Chuong Duong Bridge is lost in the midst of flood water.

But the riverside house (Phuc Tan ward area) is still deeply flooded, some sections are nearly 1 meter deep.

Previously on September 10, when the Red River flood rose, Hanoi authorities urgently evacuated people to safety.

Although the flood on the Red River in Hanoi has decreased, it is still at a high level, causing flooding in low-lying areas, floating sandbanks in the middle of the river, riverside areas, and posing a risk to the safety of the dykes. Therefore, the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Control and Search and Rescue of Hanoi City recommends that districts, towns and cities increase patrols, guard and protect dykes according to regulations; promptly detect and handle natural disasters from the beginning according to the motto "4 on-site".
