At the headquarters of the Party Committee of Hoa Thinh commune (Dak Lak), the Military Region 5 Command chaired a launching ceremony to support the construction of houses for households that collapsed and collapsed after floods. This is an activity of profound humanitarian significance, demonstrating the spirit of "Forgetting oneself for the People" of Uncle Ho's soldiers, contributing to helping people in flooded areas soon stabilize their lives after natural disasters.
During about half a month (from November 6 to November 21), provinces in the Central region such as Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa, Gia Lai, Lam Dong... have continuously suffered many historic natural disasters, causing serious damage to people, property, trees, crops, canal systems, dams and production and business activities...
The historic flood alone left 108 people dead and missing, nearly 1,000 houses completely collapsed, nearly 3,400 houses were severely damaged... causing damage of nearly VND 16,200 billion.
Of which, Hoa Thinh commune (east of Dak Lak province) is one of the localities that was heavily flooded and suffered the most damage in the recent flood, with 25 deaths; 96 houses completely collapsed; hundreds of houses were damaged and nearly 5,000 houses were completely flooded.
Immediately afterwards, the Prime Minister worked with leaders of the four provinces of Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa, Gia Lai, Lam Dong, requesting the completion of the rebuilding of houses for people in flooded areas before Tet, called "Quang Trung Campaign".
The campaign demonstrates the spirit of speed and boldness in building houses for families swept away and collapsed by natural disasters. The construction work started from December 1 and must be completed by January 31, 2026 (before Tet).
According to the plan, the cost of supporting house construction is from 170 - 200 million VND/house guaranteed by the locality (from central and local funding sources and other legal support sources). The house type is built according to a model designed by the locality.
Mr. Cao Thanh Thuong - Director of the Department of Agriculture and Environment of Gia Lai province - said that the province supports each household with a house collapsed due to floods with 60 million VND (from the provincial budget), along with policies related to land support. In addition, there are people's funds and other socialized sources, if any. In addition, military units, police and local forces also contributed working days to help people build houses.
"The house is built according to the design of the Department of Construction. Households whose houses have collapsed but are not in high tides or landslides will rebuild their houses in their old locations. For households with collapsed and damaged houses in the risk area, we will mobilize them to relocate to resettlement areas according to the province's plan," said Mr. Thuong.
