The Civil Protection Unit (CPU) has said communities should be empowered with scientific knowledge about lightning strikes to save lives.
The Meteorological Services Department had predicted last week that there would be heavy rains coupled with violent thunderstorms.
The victims died in Quang Tri Province on 08 December after they were swept away by flash floods triggered by prolonged downpours, according to Vietnam's disaster agency, the Central Steering Committee on Natural Disaster Prevention and Control.
The disaster agency also said that flooding had damaged around 4,000 houses, including 2,052 in Binh Dinh, 730 in Nghe An and 544 houses in Quang Tri. Around 400 families have evacuated their homes in Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh.

Snow, sleet and freezing rain swept across five southern states, leaving dangerously icy roads and hundreds of thousands of people without electricity
Snow, sleet and freezing rain battered states from Georgia to West Virginia with temperatures expected to plummet further, bringing more treacherous conditions.
The storm has been blamed for at least three deaths in North Carolina and a state of emergency has been declared in the region amid the extreme weather.
Thousands of flights were cancelled across the region, and scores of schools, businesses and government offices were closed as the severe conditions worsened on Monday.

After a slow start to the ski season, with some resorts having to postpone their openings due to a lack of snow, the tables have turned and now resorts are dealing with too much snow and strong winds, meaning some ski areas have had to close due to high avalanche risk.
"There were significant falls of snow across the majority of the Alps at the weekend, with the being snow pushed down from the north and west. All resorts but the most southern regions were lucky enough to get between 30cm and 100cm," said John Armstrong from myweather2.com. These include Tignes (60cm), Courchevel (40cm), Verbier (50cm), Zermatt (60cm) and St Anton (30cm).

Rescuers work at the site of landslide in Fenshui Town of Xuyong County, southwest China's Sichuan Province, Dec. 9, 2018.
The landslide toppled a number of residential houses in Fenshui Town in Xuyong County in the city of Luzhou around 4:20 p.m. on Sunday, leaving 11 people buried and one missing.
As of 1 p.m. Monday, the 11 people had all been pulled from the debris and four of them were confirmed dead. Among the four deaths, one was found dead at the site while three others died in hospitals after emergency treatment failed, according to the local government.
The seven injured are being treated in local hospitals.
In their arrogance, however, European elites have decided to double down on these massively unpopular polices by:
(a) encouraging mass migration into Europe - with Macron currently in Morocco where he will sign the UN Compact on Migration, where signatory states are required to formalize and legalize structures for accepting and financing large numbers of migrants, and (b) implementing an EU/globalist 'ecology tax'.
So the question is: what do climate/earth changes and mass migration have in common, and what do governments know that they are not telling the people?
On this week's NewsReal with Joe & Niall, we reveal why the elites' view of the people and the people's view of the elites are so out of sync, and why the discrepancy is signalling an impending showdown of, literally, biblical proportions.
