At National Highway 24C, the section passing through Km 72, Km 76 and Km 80 in Thanh Bong commune, there were many serious landslides, with rocks and soil covering the road surface. Thanh Bong commune police coordinated with Dong Tra Bong commune police to mobilize forces to block off the road, guide people to avoid dangerous areas, and mobilize excavators and bulldozers to level rocks and soil, and soon clear the road.

In the Lo Xo Pass area (National Highway 14, Dak Plo Commune), heavy rain also caused many large-scale landslides, cutting off traffic for nearly 2 days. Dak Plo Commune Police proactively mobilized vehicles from local businesses to participate in clearing rocks and soil, sawing fallen trees, clearing sewers, and helping people move temporarily.

Faced with the risk of continued landslides, Dak Plo Commune Police advised local authorities to urgently evacuate 26 households with 116 people in Bung Ton village to relatives' houses to ensure safety.

At key landslide sites, forces are deployed on duty to guide people not to go through dangerous areas.
