On October 25, the Hue City People's Committee announced that Vice Chairman of the City People's Committee Hoang Hai Minh had signed a decision to declare a natural disaster emergency situation to overcome damage caused by coastal erosion in Tan An Hai village, Phu Loc commune.

Accordingly, the circulation of storm Than Gio caused very heavy rain combined with rising water and high tides, damaging many coastal infrastructures. Particularly, the Tan An Hai coastline was eroded for about 500m, eroding 10-15m deep into the mainland, in some places up to 20m.

The waves have eaten deep into the edge of the road, causing some locations to be eroded from 0.5m to 2m wide.

This is the only road leading to Hai Binh residential area with 63 households, nearly 200 people. Currently, the waves are still rising, there is a risk of further erosion, which could collapse the road and isolate the entire residential area.

Faced with this situation, Hue City requested the People's Committee of Phu Loc Commune to mobilize forces to be on duty at the scene, put up warning signs, delineate dangerous areas, guide people to cross safely and deploy temporary reinforcement measures to limit landslides.

The Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Agricultural Works and Rural Development of Hue City was assigned to preside over and coordinate with relevant units to urgently develop an emergency response plan and submit it to the Department of Agriculture and Environment for consideration and implementation.
