Overnight support for residents in deeply flooded areas

Due to the impact of a weakened low-pressure system after Typhoon Matmo combined with wind convergence, heavy rain fell across northern provinces from the night of October 6 to the morning of October 7, causing widespread flooding and landslides in mountainous areas. Local authorities, along with police and military forces, were promptly deployed to assist residents in deeply flooded and isolated areas.
