00:00:03.389 --> 00:00:08.369 
Every year-end, high tides often appear,
with high tides combined with heavy rain. 

00:00:08.609 --> 00:00:12.209 
causing some roads in Ho Chi Minh City
to be deeply flooded, some sections nearly a meter deep. 

00:00:12.549 --> 00:00:16.084 
Even though sandbags and walls have been
built, water flooding into 

00:00:16.084 --> 00:00:17.369 
the house is inevitable. 

00:00:17.749 --> 00:00:20.827 
And when the water began to recede, it
was also the time when people living 

00:00:20.827 --> 00:00:23.289 
along Tran Xuan San Street moved
into some alleys near this area, 

00:00:23.289 --> 00:00:26.809 
must focus on pushing water, collecting
trash, cleaning the house until evening. 

00:00:26.809 --> 00:00:30.749 
This has been repeated in recent days,
making people feel frustrated. 

00:00:42.218 --> 00:00:45.318 
No matter how heavy the rain is,
it will not get wet. 

00:00:46.898 --> 00:00:54.118 
Unless the tide rises, it rains, it
rains heavily, then its head blows up. 

00:00:54.818 --> 00:00:57.518 
There are some things that are leaking
and I have to put them up high. 

00:00:57.918 --> 00:01:00.718 
The less stuff I put downstairs,
the faster I clean it up. 

00:01:01.625 --> 00:01:05.105 
It eats up the garbage and then I whiten
it, it doesn't get in. 

00:01:05.105 --> 00:01:07.785 
Yes, I just took the sandbags. 

00:01:07.785 --> 00:01:12.065 
Inside are sandbags, outside are some
trash I took back. 

00:01:12.065 --> 00:01:13.605 
White is still right 

00:01:13.605 --> 00:01:17.885 
I have to clean up, wash the
trash and sand. 

00:01:18.230 --> 00:01:23.631 
The road blocking the window has now
become the sea front. I had to sit and 

00:01:23.631 --> 00:01:28.694 
work for an hour. If I hadn't blocked
the silver plate and stopped the water, 

00:01:28.694 --> 00:01:32.070 
more water would have come in,
filling the whole house. 

00:01:32.843 --> 00:01:35.929 
Water levels at stations downstream of
the Saigon-Dong Nai River are forecast 

00:01:35.929 --> 00:01:38.243 
to continue to rise rapidly in the coming days. 

00:01:38.543 --> 00:01:41.851 
The highest tide is likely to occur
between now and October 20, exceeding 

00:01:41.851 --> 00:01:43.123 
the warning level of 3. 

00:01:43.123 --> 00:01:47.083 
Appearance time from 4 to 7 am and
4 to 7 pm. 

00:01:47.383 --> 00:01:50.183 
People need to be on guard
against flooding affecting social life.
