23 households with 88 people and their belongings have been moved to safety. Authorities have put up warning signs, not allowing people to enter dangerous areas.
According to local authorities, a few years ago, a crack about 200 meters long appeared on Phu Gia Mountain. This place was identified by the authorities of Thua Thien - Hue province as a dangerous area, with a high risk of landslides every time there was a flood.
The crack created a landslide of about 20 meters on Phu Gia mountain.
From the evening of November 4 to the afternoon of November 5, heavy to very heavy rains occurred in the district. It is forecasted that heavy rains will continue in the coming time. Therefore, the hilly land is saturated with water, with a high risk of landslides.
To prevent dangerous situations from occurring, the People's Committee of Phu Loc district directed the communes of Loc Tien, Loc Tri, Loc Binh, and Loc Dien to urgently evacuate hundreds of households in areas at very high risk of landslides. By the afternoon of November 5, the evacuation of households was completed.
