On the occasion of the Lunar New Year of the Binh Ngo Year 2026, the Viet Nam Red Cross Society, in coordination with local authorities and sponsors, organized the program “Tet for Flood-Affected Communities” in Bac Ninh, Khanh Hoa, and Son La provinces, distributing thousands of gift packages and providing practical support to poor households and those affected by natural disasters, thereby helping local residents celebrate a joyful and warm Tet.

On August 4, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc signed Decision No. 1662/QD-TTg on behalf of the Prime Minister, approving emergency financial assistance for the provinces of Dien Bien and Nghe An to address the consequences of recent flooding (second round of support).

Through a workshop titled "Application of Science and Technology in Flood Risk Management in Vietnam”, the organizers hope to promote initiatives that apply science and technology in disaster prevention and control, disseminate practical lessons learned, and contribute to building safe, climate-resilient communities.

The Government will continue doing its utmost, together with all ministries, sectors, localities, people, and soldiers and under the supervision of the National Assembly (NA), to overcome the impact of floods and storms now hitting the country, while stepping up disaster prevention and control efforts to protect lives and guarantee economic stability and development.
