After the inspection, comrade Nguyen Tuan Thanh praised the proactive and urgent spirit of the government and local forces in evacuating people from dangerous areas.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested localities to strictly implement the policy of supporting relocated households, fully report the number to the Provincial People's Committee; review and monitor the situation of landslides and floods to prevent people from returning to dangerous areas when safety is not yet guaranteed; at the same time, take good care of the material and spiritual life of the people, not allowing hunger, cold or lack of temporary shelter to occur.

Localities must arrange forces to be on duty 24/7 in vulnerable areas, control people entering and leaving dangerous areas, and put up warning signs and block off landslide and flood areas to ensure absolute safety for the people.
