Four Houses Evacuated After Rize Landslide
A landslide in the village of Durak in Ardeşen district has caused havoc after the melting of a snow mass accumulated on the slope. The incident led to rock pieces breaking off from the slope and dragging soil onto the village road, blocking transportation in the area.
Fortunately, Road, Municipality, and Special Provincial Administration teams quickly responded and managed to reopen the road after working tirelessly to clear the debris. In order to ensure safety, 4 detached houses in the affected region were evacuated as a precautionary measure.
Ongoing efforts in the area include work by Ardeşen Municipality and AFAD teams, who are continuing to assess the situation and provide further assistance as needed. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of preparedness and swift action in the face of natural disasters.
