Currently, only about 15,000 customers in the two most severely-affected areas, Gia Lai and Dak Lak, are being urgently handled by power units, striving to complete the restoration today. Particularly for some low-lying, remote areas, where there is still flooding or in cases where the lines behind the customer's meter are damaged, the units are still unable to turn on the power due to safety concerns. EVNCPC recommends that people proactively check the electrical system in their homes for damage or at risk of peeling off and causing a short circuit, and immediately contact the hotline 19001909 of the Central Electricity Customer Care Center for timely support from the Power Company to fix the problem.
