Following on-site inspections, officials found signs of potential landslides on hillsides behind residential properties. Mud and soil had already entered several household kitchens, posing a threat to residents and their property.
In response to deteriorating weather conditions, the commune mobilised multiple emergency response teams to assist residents with evacuations and move their belongings out of danger zones.
The affected households have been temporarily accommodated at relatives' homes and community halls to ensure their safety.
Landslides have also affected several roads in the commune, with soil and rocks spilling onto road surfaces, disrupting travel and creating potential traffic hazards.
Nghia said heavy rain continued across the area on the afternoon of November 10. The commune authorities have assigned teams to inspect locations at risk of widespread landslides and proactively develop and implement emergency response measures.
