QUẢNG NGÃI — Vice Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee Nguyễn Công Hoàng on October 30 afternoon inspected landslide-hit areas and recovery efforts in the communes of Sơn Hạ, Sơn Linh and Sơn Thủy.
According to reports from Sơn Hạ Commune, prolonged heavy rains from October 27 to 29 caused flooding and widespread landslides, damaging several local roads including National Highway 24B in Gò Rinh Hamlet, the road to Đèo Rơn Hamlet, the route to Gò Da Hamlet behind the local Party Committee office, and the Thạch Nham–Xà Riêng inter-communal road (DH76).
Several bridges along National Highway 24B — including Suối Ren, Nước Chu and Gò Rinh bridges — were submerged, while many spillways connecting hamlets were flooded, leading to partial isolation.
Local authorities have promptly mobilised forces to assess and repair damaged roads, regulate traffic, and monitor landslide-prone areas.
They have also relocated residents from high-risk zones, set up checkpoints at flooded sites, and warned people to stay away from rivers and streams to ensure safety.
In Sơn Linh Commune, authorities proactively implemented public awareness campaigns and prepared equipment, vehicles, and supplies under the “four-on-the-spot” principle.
Rapid response teams inspected residential areas along rivers and low-lying zones and evacuated 132 households with 508 residents from dangerous areas.
By the morning of October 30, floodwaters had receded and most residents had returned home safely.
In Sơn Thủy Commune, heavy rains and landslides damaged 12 houses and caused 26 landslide points along local roads.
The commune mobilised manpower, machinery, and materials to clear debris and restore traffic while maintaining guards and checkpoints in high-risk areas.
Vice Chairman Hoàng praised local authorities and forces for their proactive and responsible response to floods and landslides.
He urged continued efforts to quickly clear debris, restore road access, and ensure absolute safety for workers and residents.
Hoàng also stressed that the risk of further landslides remains high, calling on localities to maintain around-the-clock monitoring, issue timely warnings, restrict movement in dangerous areas, ensure smooth traffic flow, and provide sufficient essential goods for affected residents.
