On the morning of June 11, a prolonged heavy rain caused a large amount of rock, sand and gravel to overflow the walls, causing flooding in the area of potholes at 86 Le Ngo Cat, Thuy Xuan ward, Thuan Hoa district, Hue city.
According to records, the embankment in this area has appeared many cracks, with the risk of landslides, threatening the safety of adjacent households.
This embankment area was newly built in mid-2024 and completed in early 2025. The area currently has about 20 new houses built close to the embankment.
People have reported that the construction of embankments is not yet safe as the embankment wall is only as high as the first floor of adjacent houses, while the filling is poured 3m higher than the road surface, completely exceeding the first floor of many apartments.
The walls are thinly built, the structure of the iron pillars does not meet technical standards, making the risk of landslides even more serious when encountering heavy rain.
People living in this area are extremely worried and hope that the authorities will soon check and find solutions to ensure safety before the rainy and stormy season.
According to the National Center for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting, on the morning of June 11, the tropical depression in the East Sea strengthened into storm No. 1 (international name: WUTIP).
The center of the storm is near Hoang Sa archipelago with strong winds of level 8, gusting to level 10, moving in the West Northwest direction. It is forecasted that from June 11 to 13, Hue City will have heavy to very heavy rain, with common rainfall of 70 - 200mm, some places over 300mm. On the morning of June 11, many places were partially flooded, especially on inner-city roads.
In the face of complicated weather developments, the Steering Committee for Disaster Prevention and Control of Hue City issued a telegram requesting localities to proactively plan response. The City Border Guard has reviewed all 1,126 ships, requiring vehicles operating at sea to monitor the storm, quickly return to shore or seek safe shelter.
