The Ministry of Planning and Investment was told to determine how much money should be allocated for forest fire prevention and control projects in each locality and only distribute the funding when the projects met all requirements in accordance with current laws. 
According to the National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting, Vietnam has suffered the brunt of severe impacts of the El Nino phenomenon, which could last until the end of the year. 
The phenomenon has triggered prolonged hot spells and drought in central Vietnam, the Central Highlands and the Mekong Delta, increasing the risk of forest fires.
