Authorities and local people have been stationed at the flooded point to support vehicles moving North-South to travel safely through National Highway 1A. By the early afternoon of the same day, the rain has begun to decrease, and the water has gradually receded, no longer flowing rapidly.
On the afternoon of the same day, Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tam, Chairman of the People's Committee of Xuan Tho No.2 Commune in Song Cau Town, informed that the locality was helping to overcome the consequences of a landslide that buried a house in Hao Nghia Village.
Earlier, on the evening of November 12, heavy rain caused a high mountain to suddenly collapse and bury the house of Tran Van Khanh in Hao Nghia Village. Fortunately, there were neither casualties nor great damage to property.
“Due to the early detection of the mountain collapse, the properties in Khanh's house were moved to a safe place, so there was no major damage, but the house was buried," said Mr. Nguyen Thanh Tam.
Heavy rains also caused flooding and division in many key points in Song Cau Town and Tuy An District in Phu Yen Province.
