The 2008 Vietnam floods affected north and central Vietnam, as well as southern parts of the People's Republic of China after three days of heavy rain.[1] The rainfall, which began October 30, was the heaviest in 24 years, a state meteorological official told the Vietnam News Agency,[2] and were the worst floods in Hanoi since 1984.[3][4] At least 66 in Vietnam[5] and 34 in China[6] have been killed because of the flooding. Overall, 15,000 families evacuated their homes, and almost 100 schools, 100,000 houses, 241,000 hectares of crops, and 25,400 hectares of fish farms were submerged or damaged in the floodwaters.[1][7]
