Consequently, large-scale flood appeared in the provinces from Ha Tinh to Quang Ngai province, with major floods concentrated in places from Quang Binh to Quang Nam province. Flood on medium and small rivers in Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue provinces all reached alert level 2 or 3 and even above level 3. Particularly, historical flood has happened on Hieu River (Quang Tri province) and Bo river (Thua Thien Hue province). Torrential rain has also led to landslides in mountainous areas of Thua Thien Hue and Quang Nam provinces, causing traffic congestion and deep flooding which isolated residential areas. 6 districts in Quang Binh are submerged in 0.3 to 1.0 metre of water; 9 districts in Quang Tri are flooded in 1.0-2.0 metres of water; Thua Thien Hue has 5 districts deeply flooded from 0.3 to 2.0 m; Some districts in Quang Nam province were also flooded 0.5-0.8m deep.

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.
