Ca Mau Province declares a landslide emergency on October 25 morning. |
In particular, the Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ca Mau Province has just signed a decision to declare a landslide emergency for a road leading to the center of Nguyen Huan Commune, Dam Doi District from Tan Tien Commune.
Recently, landslides have occurred at many sections on the road.
At the positions of landslide, the road surface completely collapsed into the river causing unsafety for people and vehicles.
Currently, the locality has recorded three more landslide-prone sections with a total length of 1,000 meters, affecting 36 households with 121 people.
Amid the urgent situation, the People’s Committee of Dam Doi District was required to reinforce the riverbank to prevent landslides and restore a temporary road surface to meet the traffic demand of people during the implementation of the bypass road project at the position of this landslide.
Besides, the locality has to promptly make reports proposing investment policies for a bypass road at the landslide position above and submit them to competent authorities for appraisal and approval in November.
On the same day, the Deputy Chairman of the People’s Committee of Ben Tre Province signed a decision to announce an erosion emergency at a riverside area of Giao Hoa River in the communes of Giao Long and An Hoa, Chau Thanh District.

Quang Tri facing dam collapse, landslide and land subsidence due to heavy rains
Heavy rains have caused partial dam collapse, landslides and subsidence at several works in the Central province of Quang Tri.
Fortunately, the incident did not cause damage to people, houses and agricultural production because the dam is located far from residential areas without houses.
The Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, Search and Rescue of Quang Tri Province said that the functional forces have made their efforts to restore the Sa Tram - Palin border patrol route in Dakrong District, which was seriously eroded owing to downpours.
