Under the direct command of Chairman of Quang Dien Commune People's Committee Nguyen Anh Cau, the forces including: Police, military and local people with more than 20 people, 1 excavator, 2 motor vehicles, 90m3 of rubble and other vehicles "patched" the broken dike section. By 22:20 on the evening of November 4, the broken dike section had been repaired.

To ensure safety, local authorities warn that only motorbikes of local people can pass through and give priority to ambulances, while other motor vehicles will temporarily not pass through this dike section. After the flood, the People's Committee of Quang Dien commune will have a plan to propose funding for permanent repairs to ensure traffic safety.

The broken dike section from Niem Pho village to Nho Lam village is a riverside dike combined with a traffic road that plays an important role in preventing water, ensuring travel connectivity for people, and is also a vital route connecting the old Quang Tho commune area to the center of Hue city, especially during the rainy season.

Previously, continuous rain and floods occurred, high water levels and strong currents caused landslides and broke the 7m wide dike, cutting off traffic. On the morning of November 4, directly inspecting the scene, member of the City Party Committee, Permanent Vice Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee Nguyen Thanh Binh requested departments and branches to closely coordinate with local authorities to urgently fix the problem, first patching the dike with stone cages. The Permanent Vice Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee emphasized: "All forces and means must take drastic action to complete the route on November 5, ensuring traffic and serving the travel needs of people before storm No. 13 makes landfall."
