The landslide section was about 150 meters in length and 90 meters in weight.

For safety, chairman of Hanoi People’s Committee Nguyen The Thao the same day ordered Son Tay town authorities to evacuate residents and their properties out of the landslide prone area, closely monitor and timely inform the landslide condition.

The Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Rural Development should immediately work with its ministry to do surveys, seek for reasons and give measures to handle the issue.
