In Điện Biên Province, landslides along National Highway 12 have led to localised blockages and hazardous conditions. A large crack in Tà Cáng village, Điện Biên Phủ City, forced two households to relocate due to the risk of landslides. To assist with recovery efforts, the government has allocated VNĐ10 billion (US$421,000) to Điện Biên and Sơn La provinces. Hà Nội City has also provided VNĐ10 billion to Hà Giang, Sơn La, and Điện Biên provinces to assist in flood recovery efforts. Local authorities are instructed to review and complete disaster response plans, identify high-risk areas and allocate necessary funds for timely disaster recovery efforts.
