After the recent devastating flash flood, the people of Lang Nu lost their homes and had to take temporary shelter at the cultural house and relatives’ houses. In this context, the immediate construction of a temporary shelter area became extremely urgent to ensure stable housing for the households.

Since September 15, the Bao Yen district government has leveled the ground and started construction of a temporary housing area of over 2,000 square meters. Each household will be allocated 50-60 square meters of land for temporary residence while waiting for the official completion of the resettlement area. This area is less than 1 km from the old residence of the people, ensuring that the daily life of the people is not too interrupted.

This area is 10 hectares wide, nearly 2km from the old residence, each household will be given about 1,000m² of land to build a house. The resettlement area will include 40 two-storey stilt houses, designed in the traditional Tay architecture (8x12m in size), with ancillary facilities such as kitchens and toilets. The new location ensures safety against the risk of landslides and flash floods, while being convenient in terms of transportation, close to water sources and production areas. In addition to housing, the resettlement area also has a cultural house, schools and essential infrastructure such as electricity, roads and water, helping people stabilize their lives in the long term. According to instructions from senior leaders, this project must be completed before December 31, 2024. |
