Severe Landslide in Da Nang's Mountainous Commune Prompts Urgent Warnings

The recent heavy rainfall has wreaked havoc in the mountainous regions of Da Nang, with a significant landslide striking the crucial road linking the Ch'ơm and Gari areas in Hung Son commune. This natural disaster, occurring in the Pứt hamlet, has not only obstructed vital transportation routes but also poses a direct threat to the safety of residents and commuters.

“

The landslide occurred on the vital road connecting the mountainous areas of Ch'ơm and Gari, causing a large amount of soil and rock to collapse onto the road, obstructing traffic and directly threatening the safety of residents and vehicles.

This is not the first time this area has faced such a calamity. The very road that was recently repaired after a devastating flood late in 2025 has once again succumbed to the fury of nature. The repeated landslides underscore the high risk of recurrence during prolonged periods of heavy rain, a grim reality for the local communities.

The landslide area is located right on the road that was just temporarily repaired after the historic flood at the end of 2025. A severe landslide also occurred at this location at the end of 2025, indicating a very high risk of recurrence whenever it rains heavily for a long time.

Authorities have taken immediate action, erecting warning signs and deploying personnel to the site. Residents, particularly those in the Pứt and H'juh hamlets, are strongly advised to avoid the affected area. The local government is working closely with the city to implement urgent anti-landslide measures, with plans for long-term stabilization solutions underway. The community's resilience is being tested once again as they face the ongoing threat of landslides.

For about half a month now, it has rained every afternoon in the area. Especially, the heavy rain yesterday afternoon (April 25) caused soil and rocks to continue to slide with a large volume. Water flowed strongly, carrying soil across the road in Pứt village, which is very dangerous.
