The landslide affected about 100 households and about 70 hectares of fruit orchards; 1 low-voltage power pole fell and brought down 80m of unsafe low-voltage power lines.

Immediately after the landslide, the People's Committee of An Binh commune came to survey the scene, supported people in moving their property, and reinforced the dike to avoid damage to farmers.

Previously, the People's Committee of Vinh Long province issued a plan to respond to rain, floods, high tides, and riverbank erosion to protect production and people's lives during the 2024 flood season.

The plan also said that since the beginning of the year, there have been nearly 80 landslides and subsidence points/locations in the province. Although there has been a decrease compared to the same period last year, it still caused the loss of 2,111m of riverbanks, canals, along with constructions and crops along the river, directly affecting 150 households, with an estimated loss of VND4,782 billion (a decrease of VND3,646 billion compared to the same period last year).

Through survey and assessment, the Department of Agriculture determined that in the province there are currently 8 areas that have suffered severe landslides and have a high potential for landslides that need attention, including the left bank of the Co Chien River (Long Ho District) and the Thanh Long islet area (Vung Liem District); on the Hau River, there are the upstream and downstream areas of the Hai Quy canal (Binh Minh Town), the market area of ​​Tich Thien Commune (Tra On District); Xang canal routes (Tra On District); Cai Cao River (Long Ho District); Mang Thit River (from Chanh An ferry to Mang Thit bridge in Vung Liem and Mang Thit districts)...

Through a review of the province, there are currently about 69 embankments/dykes, with a total length of 194,044m, protecting 11,430ha of agricultural land and residential land that are degraded and need to be invested in for repair in the coming time.
