Nguyen Ngoc Hung stressed the importance of providing the community, particularly students, with knowledge and skills for natural disaster prevention. He recommended that AAI, AAV, and funding partners persist in their support for Vietnam in this area via the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations, the People's Aid Coordinating Committee (PACCOM), and relevant mechanisms.
At present, AAI is assisting in 33 global emergency situations, including Typhoon Yagi, which is designated as an orange-level emergency. In collaboration with a team of international experts, AAV has rapidly coordinated with the government and pertinent agencies to execute the Community Recovery Support Project in the provinces of Quang Ninh, Hanoi, and Yen Bai, areas that were severely impacted by Typhoon No. 3. Through PACCOM, AAV has supported at least 5 households in Bat Xat district, Lao Cai province, to repair houses damaged by storms and floods. |
