Description
Residents across Laos are battling severe floods as days of heavy rains are compounded by tropical storm Mulan, which has been pummeling the northern parts of the country.
In the north, Houaphan and Luang Prabang provinces have reported heavy flooding, particularly in Samneua and Phonxay districts.
Likewise, flooding was declared a provincial emergency in eleven districts of Xayaboury Province today. The province has mobilized 600 military personnel to monitor the flooding and assist in relief efforts, while residents have been told to move to higher ground.
Floodwaters from nearby rivers have inundated several of Xayaboury’s main districts, including Xienghone, Hongsa, and Khop.
On Tuesday, rising waters washed away homes and livestock in the central areas of the country, including parts of Savannakhet Province. Villagers in Thapangthong District, who were unprepared for the deluge, were especially affected by the waters.
On the same day, districts in Salavanh and Champasack provinces saw flooding and landslides as well.

Relevant Disasters
The ASEAN Disaster Information Network (ADINet) is a repository of information concerning hazards and disasters that have happened in the region. The platform is open for public, which means that the public can submit information about any hazard and disaster to the AHA Centre. Thereafter, the AHA Centre will verify and validate any submitted information to ensure the accuracy of the data inputs. The AHA Centre can also add new information when relevant and as necessary. ADINet has been recording disaster information in the region since the AHA Centre was operational in 2012.
