Rapid migration out of disaster-stricken areas

The campaign focuses on building houses, completing infrastructure, handing over land, paying support and relocating people to safe new places of residence.

The province aims to complete 100% of the houses according to the 2026 plan, prioritizing households that have been allocated land, households in difficult circumstances and people living in areas at high risk of natural disasters.

According to the plan, all houses must be started before August 31st; strive to complete and hand over houses and bring people in dangerous areas to new residences before October 31st. By November 30th, accept and hand over 100% of houses; complete relocation before December 15th and disburse all capital before December 31st.

Gia Lai Provincial People's Committee requests communes and wards to be primarily and comprehensively responsible for the results of project implementation in the area. Commune-level Party Secretaries and Chairmen must directly direct and build specific progress to each household and each house and be responsible for the results.

Localities are required to organize rolling construction. Suitable land plots must be handed over and started immediately, without waiting for the entire project to be completed.

In particular, prioritize completing housing for households in areas at high risk of landslides and flooding; poor households, households in difficulty, policy families, vulnerable people and households unable to organize construction themselves. Do not allow the situation of land allocation but slow commencement, slow housing construction to occur.

100 days and nights building new houses for 207 households in Bon Ju

In Ia Tul commune, the locality launched the "Quang Trung Campaign - 100 Days and Nights", starting construction of houses for 207 Bon Ju households. The commune sets a goal to complete and hand over houses before November 2nd and bring 207 households to new residences before November 15th.

Bon Ju is a place where many generations of Jrai people live, attached to their homes, fields and community cultural life. Leaving their long-term residence is not easy for people. However, this area has faced the risk of landslides, floods and natural disasters for many years, especially in the rainy season.

Mr. Pham Van Duc - Chairman of Ia Tul Commune People's Committee - committed that the local government will accompany the people in the process of building, relocating and stabilizing their lives in new residences.

Do not leave any households alone. Do not leave any households behind. Do not dismantle houses when there is no housing and minimum living conditions. Do not let people come to new places but lack electricity, water, food, and accommodation," Mr. Duc emphasized.

Mr. Duc requested the entire commune political system to identify the arrangement and stabilization of population as a key task. Cadres and party members must stick to the people, stick to work, stick to the area and stick to the progress; by November 15, 207 households in Bon Ju must be moved to new safe residences.

Mr. Duc also expressed his appreciation for 207 Bon Ju households who agreed with the relocation policy, agreeing to leave their long-term residence to move towards a safer and more stable life.

As one of 207 households in the area of arranging and stabilizing population in the disaster-stricken area of Ia Tul commune, Mr. Nay Hen said that he was born, raised and associated his whole life with Bon Ju. This is a place with grandparents, parents, houses, rice fields, corn fields and memories of many generations of Jrai people. Therefore, leaving is not an easy decision.

However, life in Bon Ju has always faced natural disasters for many years. After the flood in 2009, recently storm No. 13 and the historic flood at the end of 2025, people are even more deeply aware of the difficulties and losses caused by natural disasters.

According to Mr. Hen, the start of construction of new houses opens up opportunities for Bon Ju people to feel secure in stabilizing their lives, developing production and taking care of their children and grandchildren.

I and the people will unite and help each other build a new residential area that is increasingly spacious, change our mindsets and ways of doing things, actively work and produce, develop the family economy, and improve our lives. I hope that from now on, Bon Ju's children and grandchildren will no longer have to spend nights running away from floods like their forefathers, but will grow up in a safe and stable environment," Mr. Hen said.
