On October 30, the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Gia Lai province said that heavy rains over the past few days have caused landslides in some areas in the area, affecting people's lives and safety. In that situation, localities that experienced landslides and were at high risk of landslides have organized the evacuation of people to safe places.
