Tien Yen district of Quang Ninh province has 15 collapsed houses, 129 houses with roofs and a mobile broadcast column that have been poured, hundreds of households have been flooded even though the rain is not large. The reason is that the rising tide in the sea makes the river water rise more than 4 meters, close to the surface of the town road. Water continued to rise, so the District People's Committee organized the relocation of more than 1,000 households in low-lying areas to a safe place.
