On October 22, dozens of officers, soldiers and vehicles were mobilized to the coastal area of ​​Hoi An Tay ward, Da Nang city to build temporary embankments, erect stone cages, reinforce sandbags, and prevent waves from directly attacking residential areas.

The coast of Hoi An Tay ward is home to many accommodation facilities and coastal restaurants. Large waves continuously hit. Many sections of the coast have been eroded, leaving only a few meters from the tourist areas.

According to records, the erosion on the coast of Hoi An Tay has been happening for a while, becoming more serious in recent days due to the impact of storm No. 12. Many households are worried as the waves have "eaten" deep into the mainland, some sections are only a few steps away from the shops.

Previously, Mr. Tran Nam Hung - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Da Nang City - chaired an online meeting with localities to direct the response to storm No. 12. He requested communes and wards to urgently review areas at risk of landslides, flooding, low-lying areas, riverside residential areas and complete the evacuation of people to safe places before 5:00 p.m. on October 22.

Currently, the government and people of Da Nang are urgently implementing preventive measures, with the highest goal of ensuring the safety of life and property and minimizing damage caused by natural disasters.
