Hanoi will seek capital to invest in infrastructure aimed at relocating households from the flood-prone area to higher places, Chung said.

The xhairman asked the relevant forces to stay alert during 24/7, in order to ensure absolute safety of people and property. 

The local authority has to prepare all options to stabilize people’s life, especially limiting epidemics for people, cattle and poultry, Chung said.

To ensure people's long-term life, the chairman said that Hanoi will propose to the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development build embankment to the Bui river by prestressed concrete like the way the Netherlands and Belgium has done, with a depth of 10m and elevation of over 8m for sustainable flood protection.

Chung's statement came after he had a field trip to Bui dyke in Thanh Binh commune, Chuong My district which is at high risk of overflow or breakdown due to rains, Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung has instructed to supply 10,000 more sacks to raise 50cm for the dike.
