Control erosion
Mr. Nguyen Le Vu, Management Board of Investment Projects for Construction of Agricultural Works and Rural Development of Da Nang City, said: "Under the direction of the People's Committee of Da Nang City and relevant departments, we have directed the contractor to build a temporary embankment with steel baskets and sandbags inside to control the landslides on My Khe beach (Son Tra district, Da Nang city). After the temporary embankment was built, the erosion and landslides of the coast have been basically controlled".
According to Mr. Vu, at the end of February, the landslide positions have been re -installed. At the same time the landscape has also been restored partly. In the coming time, in order to continue to thoroughly overcome the landslide of the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the Department of Construction presided over and the project management board to study the plans to overcome this situation.
Currently, traders are making efforts to overcome the consequences, clean up the rubble and find ways to restore business. However, the reconstruction of facilities requires a large amount of funding that many households cannot afford to pay.
Heavy loss after natural disasters
At the end of 2024, the strong northeast monsoon accompanied by prolonged cold rain caused serious landslides along nearly 100m of the coastline along Vo Nguyen Giap Street, Phuoc My Ward, Son Tra District, Da Nang.
High tides have swept away many kiosks, umbrellas, recliners and countless other business items of service groups here. In which, Service and Business Group No. 7 is one of the most severely affected groups.
Mr. Tran Van Quy, member of Service and Business Group No. 7, shared: "Sealides not only affect the environment but also cause great damage to business owners like us. For many coastal businesses, this is not only a financial challenge but also a direct threat to their existence".
Property damage is obvious, but the bigger concern for traders is the loss of income. Many households are completely dependent on coastal tourism business activities. The destruction of facilities has prevented them from continuing to do business, directly affecting their lives.
Ms. Hong, another member of Service Group, Business Group No. 7, said: "We are facing many difficulties and don't know how to handle them. The biggest wish at this time is to be supported so that we can quickly stabilize our lives".
Traders hope that the government will have timely and practical support policies to help them overcome immediate difficulties. In addition to financial support, the implementation of long-term coastal protection measures is also extremely important.
