Da Nang: Continue to evacuate households from landslide areas in Hung Son commune

(Chinhphu.vn) - On the morning of November 24, the Da Nang City Border Guard Command said that the border guards continued to support the evacuation of households from areas at high risk of landslides in Hung Son commune, where a serious landslide had just occurred.

Accordingly, implementing the direction of the Da Nang City Border Guard Command, on the morning of November 24, Ga Ry Border Guard Station coordinated with Tr'hy Border Guard Station and the Command's agency force with 45 officers and soldiers to dismantle and relocate 5 houses of households: Po Loong Nuonh, Po Loong Ham, Po Loong Hau, Riah Nen and Riah Doi (H'juh village, Hung Son commune) to a new, safer site. These households live about 500 meters from the landslide site.

Directly commanding the relocation and evacuation of households, Lieutenant Colonel Hoang Thanh Ha, Deputy Chief of Staff of the City Border Guard Command, said that up to now, 25 out of 87 households in H'juh village have been moved to safety. The Ga Ry Border Guard continues to mobilize the remaining households to urgently coordinate to complete the relocation.

At the same time, the rescue force of the city Border Guard, including Ga Ry and Tr'hy Stations, used a team of trained dogs to continue coordinating with the family and other forces to search for the two missing people at A Zat stream, Put village.

Previously, at around 9:30 a.m. on November 14, at the upstream area about 250 meters from the local dam and the Ga Ry Border Guard Station (in the border commune of Hung Son), a large landslide occurred. The mass of rock and soil poured down from above like a waterfall, burying several houses and more than 200 meters of road. Three people from Put village who were working in the fields were buried.

The heavy rains of the past few days have made rescue operations difficult. After several days of continuous searching in difficult terrain, the border guards have discovered and removed the first body of the three missing people from the scene.

The search for the remaining victims is still being urgently deployed. Local authorities are actively supporting the family in funeral arrangements and implementing measures to overcome the consequences of the natural disaster.

Border guards dismantled and relocated five houses in H'juh village, Hung Son commune to a new, safer area.
