(Baonghean.vn) - Currently, in Ky Son district, there are nearly 300 households in 3 communes of Muong Tip, Muong Ai, My Ly that are in urgent need of evacuation because they live near rivers, streams, near positive slopes or on high mountain slopes with weak geological structure, high risk of landslides and rockslides.

Every year during the rainy season, Ky Son district is one of the localities that suffers heavy damage to people and property... caused by floods and landslides.

This year, to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, all levels and sectors of Ky Son district are making efforts to mobilize all resources, focusing on reviewing and evacuating households out of the area.

In 2018, Xop Phong village, Muong Ai commune, was one of the localities that suffered heavy damage to people and property, killing 2 people and forcing more than 20 households to evacuate urgently.

Vị trí thuận lợi nhất được lựa chọn nằm cách bản Xốp Phong cũ khoảng 1500m, thuộc cung đường tuần tra biên giới, khu vực này không cách xa nơi canh tác cũ là mấy nên không ảnh hưởng đến việc sản xuất của bà con
The most favorable location chosen for relocation is about 1,500 m from the old Xop Phong village, on the border patrol route. This area is not far from the old farming area so it does not affect the production of the people.
To proactively respond to unusual developments of natural disasters, from the beginning of 2019, Ky Son district has proactively propagated and advised people to monitor the weather situation to develop plans to prevent flash floods, landslides and mobilize and evacuate people living in areas with high risk of landslides to new safe places before the rainy and flood season arrives.

“Xop Phong village has been completely eroded, it is uninhabitable, very dangerous. We are currently building houses in the newly moved area, this is the area the district arranged for us to live in, because it is very difficult to move here, we are not yet assured. I hope the Party and the State will create favorable conditions to help the people.”

Up to now, over 50% of households have relocated to new locations and built camps, built barns, raised livestock as well as engaged in production activities to stabilize their lives.

“While waiting for the province’s funding, the district has directed the communes to have plans to relocate households in dangerous areas to safe places. Currently, the villages of Muong Tip and Muong Ai have mobilized people to evacuate to safe places. Moving households in areas at high risk of landslides to safe places is an urgent task, especially in the context of the 2019 flood season approaching.
