According to Mr. Ngo Chi Hieu, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Dat Moi commune, upon receiving the report, on the morning of May 22nd, the leaders of the People's Committee of the commune, along with specialized agencies and the People's Committee of the hamlet, went to survey and share with the families, as well as assess the extent of the damage; at the same time, they encouraged the families of Mr. Nguyen Van Tac and Mr. Tran Thanh Vu to move their houses and property to a safe place.

The People's Committee of the commune dispatched forces to assist the families of Mr. Nguyen Van Tac and Mr. Tran Thanh Vu in dismantling their houses and moving their belongings to a safe location.

According to reports from the Ca Mau provincial authorities, in just the past week, the province has experienced heavy rainfall and widespread riverbank and coastal erosion, causing damage to houses, gardens, and roads in many localities.

Previously, on May 21st, following a heavy rain, serious subsidence occurred at 6 points along the west bank of Canal No. 2 and the south bank of Vuon Giua Canal in Rach Ruong C and Kinh Ngang hamlets, Tran Van Thoi commune. The total length of the subsidence was over 100m; many sections of the road surface suffered structural damage and deep subsidence, causing difficulties for vehicles and people traveling on the road.

Meanwhile, on the road in Kinh Hang A hamlet, Khanh Hung commune, a subsidence incident occurred two days earlier, spanning over 35 meters in length and approximately 1.5 meters in depth, affecting the movement of local residents.

The subsidence was caused by weak soil combined with heavy rainfall; local authorities have surveyed the area, opened a temporary road for residents to travel, and requested higher authorities to promptly implement a remedial plan.

In Tan An commune (Ca Mau province), a landslide occurred along the riverbank on the night of May 19th, spanning approximately 30 meters and completely destroying two houses. The estimated total damage is over 230 million VND; fortunately, there were no casualties.

Immediately after the incident occurred, local authorities, in coordination with the Tam Giang Border Guard Station, quickly arrived at the scene to assist residents in relocating their property and mitigating the consequences.
