According to Director of Construction Department Le Hoa Binh, the city will develop a handy flood warning app for its people not to travel through inundated areas under the rains, according to Tuoi Tre newspaper.
The app will be an upgraded version of the municipal portal of drainage system (https://chongngap.hochiminhcity.gov.vn/baongap), which integrates more than 100 cameras feeding in pictures of the raining and flooding situation. The portal also provides weather forecast news and flood alerts.
According to the department, there are still 18 roads which can be flooded by rainwater and 19 others flood-prone by rising tide across the city although 21 flood-prevention projects have initially produced positive effects.
The department was demanded to cooperate with district governments to handle the difficulties in land clearance and compensation aiming to speed up the flood-prevention works.
