>>> Central region strengthens responsive efforts as Storm Molave makes landfall
>>> EU to provide EUR1.3 million to support flood victims in Vietnam
The dispatch was sent to the National Committee for Disaster Response and Search and Rescue, the Defence Minister, the Commander of Military Zone 5, and the People’s Committee of Quang Nam Province.
It was issued right after the landslide ravaged Tra Leng Commune, Nam Tra My District, on the evening of October 28, burying many local residents.
The PM requested the disaster response committee, military forces and local authorities to coordinate with relevant forces and use any measure necessary to promptly rescue the victims.
Rescue efforts have been made difficult due to the impacts of storm Molave, which has triggered landslides and disrupted traffic from downtown Nam Tra My to the commune.
A front headquarters for search and rescue was established in Bac Tra My District, led by Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Le Tri Thanh.
On the same day, Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung asked authorities of the central localities in general and Quang Nam Province in particular to implement urgent tasks to minimise losses of life and property caused by Storm Molave, the ninth this year and fourth in a month to have hit the central region.
