This is a key directive in an urgent official dispatch recently issued by the Prime Minister, instructing relevant ministries, sectors, and localities to focus on swiftly overcoming the devastating damage caused by typhoon Bualoi and subsequent floods.

According to the Prime Minister, the recent natural disasters have caused heavy losses, but the recovery process has been slow, with many areas isolated and people facing difficulties in daily life and production. Therefore, the head of Government demands mobilisation of all resources and means, including helicopters, to reach isolated areas and urgently support the people.

“The Ministers of National Defence and Public Security must direct units stationed in the affected areas to be ready with forces, supplies, equipment, and vehicles, including helicopters, to provide maximum support as requested by local authorities to help people quickly recover from the damage caused by the storm and floods,” the dispatch clearly states.

The Prime Minister also required localities to urgently assess and report the damage related to housing, education, health care, essential infrastructure, and production-business sectors, and submit reports before 10 a.m. on October 3.

Local forces such as the military, police, youth groups, and militias are deployed to rebuild houses, repair the damage, and provide temporary shelters for families who lost their homes.

In addition, the Prime Minister demands immediate repairs of schools, healthcare facilities, power grids, clean water, and telecommunications systems to be completed by October 5 to ensure conditions for studying, daily life, and medical care. Support for families with deaths, missing persons, and destroyed or washed-away houses must also be completed by this deadline.

The government leader also orders price control measures to prevent speculation and profiteering from the disaster, ensuring adequate supply of food, necessities, and essential repair materials to affected residents.

According to a preliminary report by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment as of October 1, the storm and floods caused 54 deaths and missing persons, 140 injured, more than 154,000 houses damaged or with roofs blown off, tens of thousands of hectares of rice, subsidiary crops, and aquaculture affected, with estimated economic losses of tens of thousands of billions of Vietnamese dong.
