For almost a week, residents of Tan Tich Hamlet, Cao Lanh Ward, have lived in fear of landslides, constantly moving their belongings to escape the encroaching river.
A roughly 3-meter retaining wall collapsed in an alley on Khoi Nghia Bac Son street, Xuan Huong ward (Da Lat), burying a concrete road leading to homes on the afternoon of 10/9.
A 100-meter stretch of the Hau riverbank in My Hoa Hung commune (former Long Xuyen city) collapsed on the morning of 4/9, pulling two houses and a warehouse into the river and threatening dozens of nearby homes.
Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Ha Tinh are the three localities with the highest number of communes at risk of landslides and flash floods, at risk level 2 on a 3-level scale.
