On March 25, Mr. Thanh Minh Thuan - Chairman of Ba Vi Commune People's Committee informed that the commune had just submitted a report to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development of Quang Ngai province on requesting the announcement of an emergency situation for natural disasters caused by rain and floods causing cracks and landslides on Pa Ray mountain, Nuoc Lay village, Ba Vi commune.
According to Mr. Thanh Minh Thuan, the landslide situation of Pa Ray mountain is threatening the lives and property of 11 households with 48 people in Nuoc Lay village. At the end of 2025, more than 1,000 m3 of soil and rocks spilled down, causing property damage to people. At previous landslide locations, soil and rocks, trees continued to subside, continuously falling to the foot of the mountain.
Currently, Pa Ray mountain has a large crack, about 50 m long, 0.2 m wide and is continuing to expand. It is estimated that if a landslide occurs, there will be more than 10,000 m3 of soil and rocks overflowing into the residential area. Worryingly, on the top of Pa Ray mountain there is also a 500 kV power pole, only about 15 m away from the landslide location, making people even more uneasy.
To ensure safety for households, Ba Vi commune has submitted a report to the Department of Agriculture and Environment requesting the announcement of an emergency situation for natural disasters caused by rain and floods causing cracks and landslides on Pa Ray mountain.
Mr. Thanh Minh Thuan said that the commune has invited departments, branches, and related units to go on the field to inspect and assess the landslide situation of Pa Ray mountain, and at the same time proposed that the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development soon consider and advise the Provincial People's Committee to support funding for relocation and resettlement for households out of the dangerous area.
According to Mr. Thuan, it is necessary to have solutions to reinforce taluy slopes, build earthenwalls, as well as drainage measures to prevent water from continuing to flow into cracks to avoid cracks from expanding and the risk of landslides, directly threatening people's lives and property.
