After the storm in September, the People's Committee of Quang Nam province recorded that more than 1 km of coastline in Trung Phuong village (Duy Hai commune) had suffered serious erosion. Since 2013, more than 2 km of coastline here has been eroded and eroded.
It is worth mentioning that since 2013, the rate of erosion has become faster and faster. Dozens of households have been forced to move to new places because the waves have collapsed and submerged their houses. However, some households in the "red alert" area have not yet been relocated to a safe place.
Pieces of house walls were washed out to sea due to landslides.
People spend money to buy hundreds of piles Bamboo poles are placed in the sea to reduce the destructive power of the waves.
A house was destroyed.

Mr. Truong Cong Truc (67 years old, in Trung Phuong village) said that his family's house is currently less than 10 meters from the wave's edge. Next to it is his son's house, which has been abandoned because it is threatened by landslides.
The concrete slabs scattered along the coast are traces of houses that were previously destroyed by the waves.

Landslides stretched from An Luong village to Trung Phuong, affecting 380 households with about 1,000 people.
Pieces of concrete and bricks lie scattered along the coast.
During the storm last September, the sea "gouged" right in front of Mr. Truong Cong Truc's house, creating a small creek more than 1 meter deep.
The landslide created a cliff more than 1 meter high.
The coastline through Trung Phuong village has eroded with a length of more than 1 km.
Many households pooled money to buy bamboo to plant stakes along the shore to limit the destructive power of the waves. However, this is only a temporary solution...
Coastal erosion through Trung Phuong village is happening more and more quickly and complicatedly.
Mr. Tran Van Siem, Vice Chairman of Duy Hai Commune People's Committee, said that before 2018, landslides eroded 15-20 meters into the mainland each year, but since 2018, there have been times when landslides have eroded nearly 500 meters into the mainland. Currently, there are 35 households in the landslide risk area, of which 12 are at high risk.
Faced with the landslide, the Duy Hai commune government has proposed to the Duy Xuyen District People's Committee and the Quang Nam Provincial People's Committee to soon pay attention to researching and investing in the construction of a coastal embankment in Trung Phuong village. The locality is also promoting resettlement for households in areas at high risk of landslides.
Currently there are 12 households in high risk areas.
Concrete slabs lying around
The functional departments of Duy Xuyen district and the Quang Nam provincial government have also inspected the situation. The district People's Committee assigned the functional departments to survey and make recommendations on the construction of a solid embankment.
Many people are worried that without a breakwater, this village will soon be at risk of being wiped out.
The ancient trees that act as breakwaters were hit by the waves and washed away.
