Local authorities have forecast heavy rainfall from Wednesday night through next Monday, with total accumulation expected to reach 350-600 millimeters, and some areas possibly exceeding 800.

Fearing flooding and landslides, the Da Nang People’s Committee has urged residents to store enough food and essential supplies to last at least three days.

Crowds were reported at major retail chains including Bach Hoa Xanh, Winmart+, and traditional markets, where fresh produce, eggs, meat, and fish sold out quickly.

At a Bach Hoa Xanh store on Pham Nhu Xuong Street in Hoa Khanh Ward, shelves of vegetables were cleared within minutes despite staff restocking them repeatedly from storage.
