Vietnam is one of the top five countries in the world most likely to be severely affected by climate change, with 21 types of natural disasters, especially storms, tropical depression, floods, flash floods, landslides, droughts, saline intrusion, and river bank and coastal erosion, he noted.
Many practical activities have been implemented nationwide in recent days, such as the building of 400 flood-resistant houses for poor households in the central coastal areas, the Minister said, adding that natural disaster prevention has been integrated with the operations of agencies, organisations and schools, alongside swimming training for children, disaster forecasting and communications in the field.
At the event, a seminar was held for the representatives of the Vietnam Disaster Management Authority, localities and enterprises. Individuals and collectives with outstanding performances in natural disaster prevention and control were also honoured at the meeting.
