Announcing an emergency situation to handle the landslide incident in My Thai commune dike

Specifically, at 3:00 p.m. on July 7, 2025, through inspection, it was discovered that the landslide arc on the river side was about 65m long, about 6-10m wide, and the landslide arc ate deep into the dike surface. On the morning of July 8, 2025, the landslide arc developed further, sliding a 65m long section into the middle of the dike surface about 3m, the height difference from the top of the landslide arc to the foot of the landslide arc was about 12-15m.

Decision to declare an emergency.

Checking the upstream and downstream of the landslide, many vertical cracks appeared about 50cm from the edge of the dike (total length of cracks appeared about 200m, upstream 150m, downstream 50m). The cracks show signs of continuing to develop, with the risk of widespread landslides, directly threatening the safety of the dike.

By the morning of July 8, 2025, the landslides continued to develop in both length and width, with landslides reaching the middle of the dike surface, and the landslides developing along a dike section about 250m long, directly threatening the safety of the dike, so it is necessary to urgently implement solutions to ensure dike safety (the back dike is about 300m from the main Ta Thuong dike).

Urgent measures need to be applied immediately to respond and overcome the consequences in order to prevent and minimize damage caused by natural disasters or construction incidents. The Department of Agriculture and Environment is fully responsible for the results of inspection, review, and proposal to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee to declare an emergency situation to handle the above incident in accordance with the provisions of law.
