Thereby, it was determined that there was a crack about 515 cm wide, with an unknown depth, the length of the crack extending on the top of the dirt hill was about 200 m. At the foot of the hill, there is a residential area and an inter-commune concrete traffic route; behind the houses of households, many long, high-risk cracks have appeared.
The government has warned people not to travel and not to live in areas at risk of landslides. According to the survey, people's lives are still difficult; some households are eligible for support under the temporary house removal program in 2024-2025, some households have built solid houses.
