In October and November, the Central region suffered consecutive floods, storms, landslides, and historic inundations, causing great loss of life and property. In Hue City alone, floods caused 5 houses to collapse completely, 9 houses to be damaged (of which Khe Tre commune had 3 houses collapsed, 7 houses damaged; Loc An commune had 2 houses collapsed and 2 houses damaged).

In Khe Tre, there are 91 households living in high-risk landslide areas that need to be urgently relocated and resettled.

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony in Khe Tre commune, Vice Chairman of Hue City People's Committee Hoang Hai Minh emphasized that the implementation of the "Quang Trung Campaign" is a key, urgent and meaningful political task. "We are not only rebuilding houses with bricks, stones and cement, but also rebuilding trust, lighting up hope and affirming the spirit of 'Leaving no one behind'."

The Vice Chairman of the Hue City People's Committee requested the Department of Construction to support house models suitable to local conditions, ensuring the '3 hard' standards: hard foundation, hard frame and hard roof. The Khe Tre Commune People's Committee must urgently handle land and construction procedures for the people in the spirit of "solving any problems".

Speaking at the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction and repair of houses for households in Loc An commune, Mr. Tran Huu Thuy Giang, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Hue City, said that the City is determined to speed up the implementation so that people can celebrate "Tet reunion" in their new houses.

"Hue is an area that often suffers from natural disasters and storms and floods. Therefore, houses built in this campaign must be sturdy and become the safest shelter for people when natural disasters strike," Mr. Tran Huu Thuy Giang requested.

We will also feel more secure during stormy days. The house is not only my family's home, but also the love and care of all levels of government and the community."

To soon complete the "Quang Trung Campaign", at the groundbreaking ceremony, the leaders of the Hue City People's Committee directed the military, police and related units to mobilize forces and means to urgently construct houses for people to ensure sustainability, economy and on schedule.
