Since the beginning of the rainy season, Dien Bien province has continuously experienced heavy, prolonged rains causing flash floods, landslides, and damage to many national highways, provincial roads, and inter-commune roads. According to statistics from the Department of Transport, the total volume of landslides and road filling is estimated at 90,800m3 ; the volume of soil and mud filling culverts and longitudinal ditches is about 14,300m3 ; the negative slope erosion is 180m; the roadside erosion is 170m; and the road surface is damaged by 220m2 . The estimated damage is about 6 billion VND.
In order to promptly handle situations and incidents, minimize damage to people and road traffic infrastructure, and ensure smooth traffic, the Department of Transport has established a Command Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention, Control and Search and Rescue, and assigned permanent tasks to each member.

Mr. Bui Thanh Hieu, Head of Traffic Management Department (Department of Transport) said: This year, the flood situation is different from previous years. Heavy rains are spread evenly in most areas, so landslides are also spread out on the routes, there are no large landslides and they are not concentrated on some routes like previous years. Thanks to proactively checking and identifying locations at risk of landslides on traffic routes to develop plans to ensure each location, when a landslide incident occurs, the forces quickly approach and deploy remedial measures, not allowing prolonged congestion.
Currently, on national highways, road management units always arrange machinery, vehicles and human resources to ensure traffic. When a landslide occurs, within 30 minutes to 1 hour, the units will handle and ensure the road is clear.

Specifically, the Company has prepared 500kg of explosives with accessories; 1,200 steel baskets of various types; 3,000m3 of rubble; 5,000l of diesel oil. At the same time, the Company also arranged 12 excavators, 7 cars and workers to spread evenly on the routes, especially the routes with many vulnerable locations, landslide risks, and traffic safety risks to ensure timely handling when incidents occur.
Mr. Nguyen Van Kien, Deputy Director of Dien Bien Road 2 Joint Stock Company, said: Since the beginning of the rainy season, on the traffic routes under its management, more than 35,000m3 of landslides have flooded the road surface and blocked drainage culverts, causing local traffic jams.
