Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested the central province of Quang Tri to apply a state of emergency in housing reconstruction for 12 families whose houses collapsed or were damaged in recent natural disasters, with completion required before December 31.

PM Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the event.

Chairing a working session in Hanoi on December 13 with the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee to review the "Quang Trung Campaign" on housing reconstruction and repair in the aftermath of floods and storms from November 16-22, PM Chinh urged the Ministry of National Defence to deploy engineering units for construction support, including drainage fixes for landslide-hit streamside areas in Khe Sanh commune, along with reinforcement and comprehensive risk assessments for long-term landslide prevention.

Stressing the principle of timeliness, accuracy, feasibility and effectiveness, the government leader requested Quang Tri province's authorities to submit weekly progress updates to meet deadlines.

He praised ministries, agencies, and localities for their rapid response under the campaign. Of over 1,600 houses that collapsed or were completely swept away, construction started on 1,535 and 469 were completed in just 10 days. More than 31,950 of over 34,000 damaged houses have been repaired, with many localities aiming to finish early.

Since early this year, as many as 7.144 trillion VND (274.7 million USD) has been allocated from the central budget to aid disaster-hit localities.

Quang Tri province suffered multiple consecutive disasters this year, resulting in heavy losses, including 21 deaths, 10 missing and 24 injured, with economic damage estimated at over 2.5 trillion VND.
