Currently, on the Huu Cau dike section from K25+630-K25+680 in Da Phuc commune and the Huu Hong dike section from K33+200-K33+800 in Phuc Loc commune, Hanoi city, subsidence and cracking of the dike surface have occurred and are tending to develop and expand further. These are serious incidents occurring during the flood season, directly affecting the safety and flood resistance of the dike, while the current flood situation is very complicated; at the same time, the above dike areas have repeatedly experienced subsidence and cracking incidents, which are identified as key areas of the city's dikes but have not been completely resolved.

To ensure flood safety of dykes, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment requests the Hanoi People's Committee to direct local authorities, relevant agencies and units to:

Urgently mobilize human resources, materials, means, and equipment to urgently handle the above incidents, ensuring safety for the dike routes (in which, for the incident of subsidence and cracking of Huu Cau dike, research and implement the plan to build a structure to expand the dike towards the field as the General Department of Natural Disaster Prevention and Control (now the Department of Dike Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control) has sent its opinion to the City in Document No. 67/PCTT QLĐĐ dated January 25, 2019, but has not been implemented yet).

Continue to closely monitor the developments of incidents and flood situations to promptly handle arising situations (if any) from the first hour, not allowing incidents to develop further.

Review and approve the adjustment of the protection plan for key vulnerable points of Huu Cau dike from K22+800 - K26+000 and Huu Hong dike from K32+000 - K35+000 based on the actual situation of the incident and deploy the protection plan; in which, pay attention to fully preparing human resources, materials, means, equipment and assigning specific tasks to each organization and individual for implementation. Request the Hanoi People's Committee to pay attention to directing the implementation.
