To implement the project, Cao Bang province will receive, manage and exploit early warning products transferred by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment; at the same time, promote propaganda and raise public awareness of landslide and flash flood prevention.
A real-time information and warning system will also be built to support people to quickly access natural disaster information and proactively respond to areas at risk of landslides and flash floods.
