PM asks to seriously assess on flood adaptation measures
This request was made by Prime Minister (PM) Nguyen Tan Dung on August 5 to leaders of the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh and the National Coal and Mineral Industries Group in the wake of the recent rainstorms and floods in the locality.
During the meeting in Hanoi on August 5, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said authorities in Quang Ninh province and the National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (Vinacomin) should devise measures to adapt to increasingly complicated weather patterns.
The Government leader called upon local authorities and Vinacomin to learn from the flood impacts and devise strategies, both short-time and long-term, to protect property and human lives in the future.
They must continue their efforts to stabilise local livelihoods, support affected families and fix damaged infrastructure in order for the locality to resume its normal activities as soon as possible.
The Government will consider supproting to Quang Ninh and Vinacomin to help address the flood consequences, Dung noted.
Constant rain and flood surges in late July for almost a week claimed 17 lives and injured 8 in the northern coastal province of Quang Ninh.
According to the National Steering Committee for Flood and Storm Control, the costs of flood damage in the locality exceeded 2.2 trillion VND (109 million USD). The coal sector suffered damages of up to 1.2 trillion VND (55.8 million USD).
