Authorities are also working to repair the cut-off roads, but due to heavy rain and steep terrain, some sections are still impassable.

In particular, the village of Dac Ha Loi is currently blocked by landslides at both ends of the road, and the local authorities are continuing to contact relevant agencies for assistance.

Mr. Pham Duc An, Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, signed Decision No. 2243/QD-UBND declaring a state of emergency due to natural disaster in the landslide area of ​​Arooi village residential area (Hung Son commune).

Specifically, the level of landslides in the Arooi village residential area (Hung Son commune) is at an alarming level, with a high risk of landslides threatening the safety of 2 households, directly affecting more than 13 households living nearby, 1 community center (Gươl house), and the national defense road, causing difficulties in transportation.

Due to the ongoing landslide in the Arooi village residential area, which poses a significant risk of spreading across the village and seriously affecting the lives and property of residents, Mr. Pham Duc An proposed the immediate implementation of temporary measures to prevent further landslides, protect the lives and property of residents, and safeguard essential infrastructure.

Accordingly, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Hung Son commune - Head of the Civil Defense Command of Hung Son commune - will continue to implement urgent measures that need to be applied immediately to respond to and mitigate the consequences in order to prevent and minimize damage caused by natural disasters.

This includes proactively mobilizing forces, vehicles, and resources to quickly evacuate and relocate people from dangerous areas when necessary. It also involves ensuring logistical support for people at evacuation sites, strengthening the placement of warning signs, demarcating dangerous areas, and deploying security forces to ensure the safety of residents.

Organize landslide risk mitigation efforts in the area, ensuring compliance with regulations regarding procedures, documentation, and related processes.
