Immediately after the Central region recovered from the historic flood, the Government immediately launched the "Quang Trung Campaign" - an unprecedented campaign with the goal of rebuilding more than 1,500 collapsed houses, helping people have a home before Tet.
On the morning of December 1, military, police and local forces in Dak Lak, Gia Lai, Lam Dong and Khanh Hoa provinces simultaneously launched to rebuild houses for people.
The image of hundreds of soldiers of Military Region 5 mud-wading, stretching ropes, raising frames, and roofing each household in Hoa Thinh (Dak Lak) has created a strong message: when natural disasters pass, the State does not let people fight alone. And the spirit of Uncle Ho's soldiers was once again affirmed with specific, practical and timely actions.
The notable point of this campaign is not only the speed when starting construction on December 1 and completing it no later than January 31, 2026, but also a very new approach.
This is the first time, after a major flood, the State has simultaneously implemented the construction of houses with a unified design, modelled by the Department of Construction of the provinces, meeting safety and flood prevention standards.
Support funds from 170 - 200 million VND per house, from central sources, local budgets and socialized mobilization, help people not have to rebuild vulnerable temporary houses like before.
This shows a very important change in thinking, when switching from immediate relief to long-term reconstruction.
People in the flooded areas of the Central region this time are not only supported with housing, but also with works that can cope with floods. They not only have a new house but also have sustainable foundations in their journey to live with repeated natural disasters.
The coordination model in "Quang Trung Campaign" is also a bright spot worth discussing. The State takes care of resources and directs; localities take charge of site clearance and resettlement for households in risk areas; the army mobilizes construction forces; communities and businesses participate in socialization.
This is a "4 in 1" model that initially showed efficiency and discipline. If institutionalized into a standard disaster response process, this model can completely become a "national scenario" when a major natural disaster occurs.
Finally, the most humane part of the campaign is the goal of not letting people celebrate Tet under a temporary roof. After more than half a month of being submerged in floodwaters, after heavy losses of people and property, a roof is not only a place to live, but a belief to recover.
A new house, in time for Tet, will help people feel that after the flood, there is still a hand that points out, there is still a fulcrum so that no one is left behind.
