Evacuation plan formulated for Song Tranh 2 hydropower dam

Experts inspected the evacuation plan for people living in earthquake-affected areas near Song Tranh Hydropower Plant in central Quang Nam Province.

The military commanders of Bac Tra My District have developed evacuation strategies to prepare for the worst case scenario – the Song Tranh Dam breaking.

Major General Nguyen Quy Nhon, deputy commander of the Military Zone 5, stressed that it needed to take into account many details such as the distance between residents' homes and evacuation sites, means of transportation and the time it would take to evacuate.

Chairman of the district People's Committee Dang Phong said that the district would co-operate with authorised agencies to make detailed plans for relocation or evacuation in case the dam broke.

Recently, consecutive earthquakes ranging between 2-3.8 on the Richter scale have occurred near Song Tranh 2 Hydropower Plant in Bac Tra My District. They caused cracks in hundreds of houses and dozens of public works.

Currently, there is no water in reservoirs, but experts raised concerns that the increased water of the rainy season would raise the water level and might cause disaster if the dam is broken.
