Vietnam’s Thua Thien Hue considers mapping landslide hazards

Thua Thien Hue Province in central Vietnam is considering ordering a scientific review of landslide hazard mapping to better serve forecasting and warning tasks. This topic was put forward by the provincial Department of Natural Resources and Environment in 2020, following tragic landslides near the Rao Trang hydropower plant area in the province’s Phong Dien District in October the same year. Within the scope of this issue, landslide-prone locations would be taken into account, while a map would be created to assess landslide risks and improve the early warning of this natural disaster across Thua Thien-Hue. Seven search operations were conducted in more than eight months to look for the missing workers. Like us on Facebook or follow us on Twitter to get the latest news about Vietnam!
