The house collapse caused severe damage to two houses, many belongings were swept into the canal. The initial cause was determined to be likely due to the influence of the dredging, infrastructure construction, and environmental improvement project on the North bank of the Doi Canal being implemented in this area.

According to a quick report from the Propaganda and Mass Mobilization Committee of District 8 Party Committee, the two affected households are Ms. Lam Thi Don (8 people) and Ms. Huynh Thi Kim The (2 people). Both households are near-poor and have agreed to receive compensation and clearance from the dredging, infrastructure construction, and environmental improvement project on the North bank of the Doi Canal.
