Tuy An Tay proposes to build an emergency resettlement area for people in landslide areas

After many days of heavy rain, serious landslides in Vinh Xuan village (Tuy An Tay commune, Dak Lak province) caused heavy damage, forcing dozens of households to urgently move to safety. To ensure long-term survival, the local government has proposed that the Provincial People's Committee consider urgent investment in building a new resettlement area for the people.

The ground collapsed, causing serious separation.

After many days of leaving their homes to avoid landslides, 34 households in Vinh Xuan village still do not dare to return home due to dangerous conditions in this area. Heavy rain lasting for many days has caused cracks and landslides to appear continuously in the entire Lon hamlet of Vinh Xuan village.

The weak ground was hollowed out by the underground water, causing the ground to shift, causing subsidence and landslides in many places. In just a short time, the rain and floods caused 34 houses to crack, collapse or be at risk of collapsing at any time.

The landslide caused the concrete road in Vinh Xuan village to break in many sections.

Mr. Le Minh Y, Head of Vinh Xuan village, who is also one of the households in this area, recounted: At around 1:00 p.m. on November 20, a household in the hamlet discovered large cracks in the yard and wall of their house, and heard the sound of rocks and soil moving.

Realizing the imminent danger, the people immediately called for urgent evacuation. “We only had time to bring the most important items. After that, the local government and people from neighboring villages brought trucks to help move the belongings for many hours,” said Mr. Y.

A house collapsed completely due to landslide.

A total of 34 households with 116 people, of which more than half were elderly and children, had to leave their homes in a state of insecurity. Tuy An Tay commune authorities quickly arranged temporary accommodation at the village cultural house and some households in neighboring villages to ensure immediate safety for the people. At the same time, they mobilized a permanent force to monitor geological developments to avoid further incidents.

A house in Xom Lon, Vinh Xuan village has cracks around the wall.

According to local reports, the Lon hamlet, Vinh Xuan village, is still showing signs of shifting ground, with the risk of landslides increasing if heavy rains recur. Therefore, the construction of a new resettlement area is considered an urgent solution, both to help stabilize daily life and ensure the safety of the people.

A resident's house was seriously damaged.

Mr. Phan Quang Phi, Chairman of Tuy An Tay Commune People's Committee, said that the locality has proposed the province to support about 50 billion VND to build Vinh Xuan village resettlement area to arrange stable housing for 34 households whose houses have collapsed, cracked, and are at risk of further landslides.

“The landslide area has weak soil, it will be very dangerous for people to continue living there. We hope the project will be implemented soon so that people can feel secure,” said Mr. Phi.
