Dear Drs. Kai Wan Yuen et al.,

Thank you for the submission of your very interesting manuscript “Interacting effects of land-use change, natural hazards and climate change on rice agriculture in Vietnam” (nhess-2020-196).

As you know, two reviewers have now provided detailed reviews, which you have replied in thoughtful detail to. Both reviewers recommended major revisions, and therefore I would like to invite you to submit a revised version of your manuscript.

Would you please also provide an ‘author’s reply’ to the reviewers (feel free to use the same words that you used in what you have already uploaded). Please can you also include a track changes document between the old manuscript and the new one (you can include this as part of your ‘author’s reply’).

I look forward to seeing the next version of your manuscript which I will then send out for further review to either the previous reviewers (if they agree) or new reviewers.

Regards
Animesh Gain
NHESS Editor
