Hanoi Flooding

To track the progress of the floods, Hanoi has asked districts to draw up detailed anti-flood plans and submit daily reports to the Standing Committee by 4pm.

The move is seen as a viable solution to enhance drainage capacity and reduce inundation in the city.

Accelerating the progress of drainage projects is a key long-term solution for the city.

Hanoi is in the throes of the 2023 rainy season, marked by heavy rains and recurrent flooding of many of the capital's streets.

In recent years, Hanoi has prioritized and invested resources in renovating, upgrading, and modernization of the sewerage and drainage system.
