Tens of people in the northern mountainous province of Lao Cai were hit by landslides on September 5, resulting from days of torrential rain.
Twelve people were wounded after being partially buried when they were illegally exploiting gold near a mountain in Minh Luong commune, Van Ban district.
On the same day, the office of the district’s Tham Duong communal People’s Committee collapsed due to another landslide. No deaths were reported.
Heavy downpours over the last few days have caused serious floods in the province, killing four, injuring 11 and leaving ten missing.
According to preliminary statistics, in total there have been 11 dealths, serious road-blockages, destroyed houses and flooded rice fields in four northern provinces of Thai Nguyen, Ha Giang, Lang Son and Lao Cai.
In response to the tragedy, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has issued instruction for northern localities to closely monitor the situation and be proactive in evacuating residents living near flood-affected areas.
Local authorities have also been urged to assist residents in any way they can so that they can resume their normal lives without delay.
The PM also ordered relevant ministries and agencies to protect embankments, hydropower plants and electricity lines as well as ensure food supply to cope with the aftermath of the floods.-VNA

HANOI (AFP) – At least 21 people have been killed as flash floods and landslides ravaged mountainous areas in northern Vietnam, disaster officials said on Friday.
About 37 houses have been destroyed along with more than 1,700 hectares (4,200 acres) of crops, the flood and storm control department said.
In the northwestern province of Lao Cai, nine people -- including a three-year-old boy -- died when flash floods sent rocks and soil crashing into a rural village, official media reported.
Authorities are searching for two other people still missing after the incident in the Sapa region, which is popular with tourists, although no foreigners are believed to have been affected.
More than 260 deaths from floods were reported in Vietnam last year

越南北部爆發洪災
國際在線消息：據新華社電，越南防洪抗風中央委員會5日說，越南北部近兩天的暴雨引發洪水和山體滑坡，已導致至少11人死亡，約20人失蹤。
受4日傍晚強降雨的影響，老街省一初中學校教師宿舍被洪水衝垮，截至5日中午找到7名遇難者的遺體，仍有約20人失蹤。3日晚至4日早晨，萊州省一些地方大雨或特大暴雨引發的山洪和山體滑坡導致3人死亡。河江省有1人在這兩天的暴雨中死亡。高平省也遭到強降雨襲擊，出現山體滑坡等自然災害。
越南防洪抗風中央委員會5日警告說，未來幾天越南北部將持續降暴雨，有關機構應迅速應對災害，幫助當地居民穩定生活。
越北暴雨 災情嚴重
（中央社河內6日電）越南北部地區近日連降暴雨，造成嚴重水患與土石坍方等事故，目前已知10多人死亡與失蹤，另外多人受傷，許多山區道路坍方，交通受到嚴重影響。綜合越南媒體今天報導，老街省（Lao Cai）沙壩縣（Sa Pa）近日連續降下傾盆大雨，引發山洪，沖毀當地1所國中學校教師宿舍，造成7人死亡、4人失蹤、11人受傷。
老街省文盤縣（Van Ban）昨天發生山坡地滑動，造成12人受傷，主因是當地民眾非法開採金礦，造成土石鬆動，加上近日連降暴雨，引發坡地坍方。
在河江省（Ha Giang），2間房舍遭狂風暴雨襲擊倒塌，造成1死2傷。萊州省（Lai Chau）也發生暴雨，許多房舍被洪水沖垮，造成3死1傷。而在太原省（ThaiNguyen），昨天發生兩起嚴重土石坍方事故，造成3人死亡。
據報導，越南北部各地方正在全力救援災民，但因多處山路坍方，地形複雜危險，雨勢未減，救災行動舉步維艱。氣象預報指出，未來幾天，暴雨還會持續，呼籲民眾提高警覺，加緊防洪。
Floods, landslides blight northern Vietnam

Many provinces in northern Vietnam are suffering from flooding and landslides caused by prolonged heavy rain and are working to deal with the situation.
In Lao Cai province, on July 28, a 37-year-old man was swept away by a flood while trying to cross a stream in Liem Phu commune, Van Ban district, according to the local authority. His body was retrieved the same day by local residents.
In Quang Ninh province, prolonged rain for over two days created landslides around the dams in Ha Long city, causing local houses to collapse. As a result, many households had to be urgently evacuated to safer places.
According to the Ha Long city People's Committee, dozens of households were more or less affected by the landslides caused by the heavy rain. Among them, four households were seriously affected and one home completely collapsed.
In Son La province, many roads have been inundated by flooding, causing serious congestion.
One part of the National Highway 6 passing through Chieng Mung commune in Mai Son district, in particular, was completely submerged by water, creating traffic backups of nearly one kilometre that lasted for over two hours.
In response, the local authorities intervened by redirecting traffic along a new route.
Landslides have also blocked the way on three other roads in the province and causing heavy traffic congestion.
Damages from the flood and landslides in Son La are so far unknown, but the crops of many local households were reported to be seriously damaged.
Tuyen Quang province has been also considerably affected by the prolonged heavy rain.
In particular, the rain has broken the dams surrounding the Hoang Tan Reservoir in Ninh Lai commune, Son Duong district, causing damage to dozens of hectares of crops and plants grown by the locals and killing thousands of poultry.
Local authorities in affected provinces are still working to deal with the consequences of flooding and landslide and prevent further damages.
