According to information from people living at the foot of Go Oat mountain (Ba Lang village, Ba Vinh commune, Quang Ngai province), the cracks on the mountainside were discovered by people 4 years ago. Every year, during the rainy season from November to December, there is often an unusual flow of underground water from the mountain, the risk of landslides is very high, the area is about 1.2 km from the residential area.
The People's Committee of Ba Vinh commune inspected landslide-prone areas and found that there were two affected locations near residential areas. The first location on Go Oat mountain has many underground water streams flowing abnormally when there is heavy rain in the commune.
The second point is located on a mountainside with a slope of 45%. The survey showed that there was a crack in the ground across the mountainside, 50 m long, 0.6 m wide, and 0.5 - 1 m deep. The area around the crack had many large rocks scattered about. If a landslide occurred, rocks and soil would roll down to the residential area.
The entire Ba Lang village currently has 61 households with 216 people living right at the foot of the mountain. Mr. Pham Van Rach, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Ba Vinh commune, said: "We have checked and found that the level of danger is increasing. In the short term, we must come up with a plan to evacuate during the rainy season, and in the long term, we will propose to the superiors to support the relocation of people to a stable place to live."
