Accordingly, the localities need to identify the flooded locations and report the data in their communes and wards, using the provided form, sending to the City Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (via the Sub-Department of Water Resources and Climate Change) before November 30 for compilation and submission to the Department of Science and Technology, which will update the digital flood map to serve the city's natural disaster prevention and control efforts.

This is a necessary and urgent action to serve the investigation and assessment of the flood situation and the construction of the digital flood map; to support localities in developing natural disaster response plans, and to promptly advise the City People's Committee on directing and managing the response to floods in the coming time.

In Greek mythology, the supreme god Zeus transformed himself into a bull to seduce the beautiful princess Europa. When she mounted his back, the bull carried her across the sea to the island of Crete, where she gave birth to great kings, seen as an allegory for the birth of European civilization. The continent of Europe was therefore named after her – Europa, later known by the common name Europe.
