October 6, 2025 marked an important milestone in Hanoi's traffic management when the city for the first time developed a response scenario for the entire traffic system in the event of a storm. Yesterday, Storm No. 11 made landfall in Guangdong (China), but according to forecasts, its circulation will still cause heavy rain in the North, threatening traffic jams, flooding and insecurity. In that context, authorities have deployed a series of measures, from encouraging online work to controlling violations using AI camera technology.
1. Hanoi issues “4 flood levels” scenario to proactively respond
The Department of Construction has just announced a storm response plan for traffic – for the first time Hanoi has developed a detailed scenario for each flood level: under 10 cm; 10-20 cm; 20-30 cm; over 30 cm. Based on that, departments and branches will deploy warning signs, support forces for people, pumping vehicles and traffic control personnel.

👉 Deputy Director of the Department of Construction Tran Huu Bao emphasized: “Having a clear direction for each flood level helps limit prolonged congestion, especially in inner-city areas that are often flooded when there is heavy rain”.
2. Hanoi encourages online working to reduce traffic
In the face of the possibility of storms continuing from October 6-7, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Tran Sy Thanh signed a telegram requesting:
Departments, branches, and People's Committees of wards and communes prepare response forces, evacuation plans, and promptly handle people in danger when heavy rains occur
In particular, all civil servants, public employees, and workers are encouraged to work online on October 6
