Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh and his working delegation on November 29 evening held a hybrid meeting with the four south central provinces of Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, and Gia Lai regarding flood response and recovery efforts.
The cabinet leader requested that local authorities launch a rapid campaign to rebuild new and repair houses damaged by the recent floods, so as to stabilise housing for affected residents by December 10, 2025; complete repair of damaged houses by December 31, 2025; and finish constructing new homes for affected people by January 31, 2026.
The Government aims to “restructure” housing for residents to better withstand floods, ensuring homes serve both as living spaces and shelters during natural disasters and storms, he noted.
The Ministry of Construction must urgently develop flood-resistant house designs, which could use steel or concrete frames, ensuring a solid foundation, solid walls, and a solid roof, for people to choose.
Local authorities are to begin implementation immediately the next day, following the “six-clear” approach: clear beneficiaries, clear tasks, clear timeline, clear accountability, clear deliverables, and clear authority. Progress must be updated and reported to the Prime Minister weekly.
PM Chinh emphasised that the recent historic floods caused severe damage in the south central provinces, amounting to a natural disaster.
However, thanks to the efforts, high determination, and decisive actions of the Party committees, local authorities, people, and armed forces, the damage from the floods was minimissed. The PM commended the responsibility and dedication of local Party committees, authorities, and armed forces in protecting and assisting people during and after the floods.

In the upcoming period, local Party committees, authorities, and armed forces must strictly follow the directions of the Politburo, the Secretariat, the Government, and the Prime Minister, especially Resolution 380/NQ-CP 2025 on measures to overcome the consequences of natural disasters and restore production in central provinces. Resources will be mobilised at the local, central, charitable, and household levels.
“Now more than ever, national solidarity must be promoted,” he stressed.
The Prime Minister instructed local Party committees to strengthen leadership, authorities to act decisively, residents to contribute, and businesses to join in with a “spirit of national solidarity” to overcome the consequences of natural disasters.
Relevant ministries and agencies should accelerate environmental sanitation and disinfection to prevent epidemics; ensure electricity and clean water supply; mobilise forces to construct and repair transportation and irrigation infrastructure urgently yet legally; stabilise schools; provide seedlings, livestock, equipment, and technical support to help residents resume production; stabilise local markets; and quickly ensure local security and order, he said.
