Households that have to be relocated will be supported with temporary accommodation, stable lives, and resettlement according to regulations.

The Hanoi Department of Agriculture and Environment was assigned to preside over and coordinate with Yen Xuan commune to monitor the landslide developments, guide the first hour of handling according to the "4 on-site" principle and advise the Chairman of the City People's Committee to announce the end of the emergency situation when the area is safely restored.
