Several streets in Hanoi continue to be flooded during heavy rains 

The National Hydrometerology Forecasting Centre predicts that there will be heavy rain in northern Vietnam from August 28 through to September 3 with an estimated rainfall of 40 centimetres.
 
Vo Tien Hung, director of Hanoi Water Drainage Company said that they will try their best to ensure safety, and attempt to deal with any water drainage issues or problems in order to minimise flooding.
 
The company has requested Ye Son water pumping station and other stations to be on standby to work 24 hours a day and co-ordinate with relevant agencies to regulate dams to ensure water drainage for the city.
 
The company has also assigned workers to clean drains to ensure streets that have been earmarked for events during the holiday period, such as Quan Thanh, Phan Dinh Phung, Thuy Khue, Hung Vuong, Hoang Hoa Tham, Ba Huyen Thanh Quan, Hoang Dieu, Nguyen Tri Phuong, Bac Son, Thanh Nien, Lieu Giai, Tran Quang Khai, Tran Nhat Duat are able to be rapidly drained.
 
“We’ll try to quickly respond to flooding,” said Hung.
 
The company recently decided to halt work to repair water drainage systems from August 15 to September 6 in order to ensure clean streets for the holiday.
