From the developments of the recent storm No. 3 (Yagi), the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government emphasized the need to ensure continuous information in all natural disaster, emergency, and force majeure situations such as the recent storm No. 3 (Yagi), especially connecting to the field, synthesizing and providing real-time monitoring, observation, and simulation modeling data to serve the direction and operation work.
This is an extremely difficult and heavy task that requires continued investment and upgrading to ensure a sustainable, unified, centralized, and shared command and control information system from the Government, ministries, branches, professional and technical agencies to localities.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Government assigned agencies with functions of forecasting, warning, and monitoring such as hydrometeorology, dykes, reservoirs, etc. to review and propose investment projects, apply technology, and artificial intelligence software to analyze and build simulation models to serve the work of directing and making decisions.
Regarding technical infrastructure, the Deputy Prime Minister of the Government requested ministries and branches to review and propose investment projects, upgrade meteorological, hydrological, telecommunications monitoring stations... in sync with energy infrastructure, telecommunications lines to be able to withstand super storms, increasingly extreme natural disasters, or force majeure and emergency situations; research and promulgate new standards on telecommunications, energy, and transportation infrastructure.
At the same time, build a coordination mechanism between specialized agencies, professional agencies, and local forces in forecasting, monitoring, supervising, providing information, and warning of natural disaster risks such as landslides and flash floods.
VNPT and Viettel coordinate to research and propose a comprehensive design for information systems and telecommunications lines in the short and long term, in extreme natural disaster conditions, beyond resilience, ensuring synchronization and seamless connectivity.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Government noted that ministries, branches and agencies must review and clarify shared investment projects, specialized investment projects, and use of socialized resources to ensure efficiency and no overlap.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Government requested that, in the process of perfecting the National Civil Defense Steering Committee, ministries and branches review and transfer assigned tasks in the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, the National Committee for Incident Response, Natural Disasters and Search and Rescue, along with financial mechanisms for specialized departments and offices to continue implementing.
The Ministry of National Defence urgently completes and submits to the Government for promulgation a decision to reorganize the National Civil Defense Steering Committee and its operating regulations in the direction of streamlining the organization, but inherits and does not change the necessary tasks to serve disaster prevention, control, and emergency response.
Regarding the draft Decree, the Ministry of National Defence closely follows and specifies the contents in the law assigned to the Government to regulate such as: Criteria for determining the levels of each type of civil defense, clear people, clear work, clear responsibilities; scope of operations of the civil defense fund and the disaster prevention and control fund, specialized management expenditure tasks; deadline for completing the consolidation of civil defense steering committees in localities.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Government assigned the Ministry of National Defence to preside over and coordinate with relevant ministries, branches and units to develop a comprehensive project to strengthen facilities, equipment and enhance capacity of civil defense activities in the new context and situation.
