Although the water level of the Red River at the Hanoi hydrological station has dropped below alert level I, the water level of the Red River at the An Canh hydrological station (Thuong Tin district) is still above alert level I, posing a risk of affecting the two districts of Thuong Tin and Phu Xuyen.

According to the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Search and Rescue of Hanoi City, the flooding situation is still complicated, especially in low-lying areas, residential areas along the Cau River, Ca Lo River, Bui River... Localities along the rivers need to continue to closely monitor floods on the rivers to proactively respond.
