At present, agencies are mobilizing all available resources and expediting progress to help residents in flood-affected areas quickly stabilize their lives, schooling, and production activities.

Under the provincial government’s decision, emergency recovery projects have been carried out in four communes: Xa Dung, Mường Luân, Na Son, and Tìa Dình. These include the resettlement and stabilization of 244 households across seven residential sites, repairs to 10 schools, restoration of 14 water supply systems and 41 irrigation works, as well as the construction of two pedestrian bridges and one embankment to protect residential areas and farmland. The total investment of more than VND 120 billion has been sourced from central and interprovincial disaster recovery funds.

Immediately after the floods, local authorities and contractors began urgent reconstruction work with the goal of putting new infrastructure into operation as soon as possible, thereby ensuring stable living and production conditions for affected communities.

Mr. Chu Đình Hùng, Acting Director of the Project Management and Land Development Board, Region II, held: “By October 1, the ground leveling at all resettlement sites had been basically completed and handed over to local authorities to organize land allocation for households. The contractors are now completing auxiliary facilities such as internal roads, power grids, and water systems.”

Most of the repairs to schools, irrigation facilities, and water systems are on schedule, and many components have already been completed and handed over for use. Meanwhile, construction of the pedestrian bridges and embankment protecting residential and farming areas is actively underway.

At the end of September, 20 households in Háng Pu Xi village (Xa Dung commune) who lost their homes to the floods received new houses at the resettlement site. Among them was Ms. Sùng Thị Dia, 50, head of a seven-member household whose wooden home and all belongings were washed away by the flood less than a year after it was built. Standing in her new, solid house, she shared emotionally, “Now that we have a new home, I can finally sleep peacefully. I’m deeply grateful to the Party, the State, and the soldiers who helped us.”

Although the houses have been handed over, the resettlement site still lacks electricity and running water. The nearest water source for daily use is nearly three kilometers away. Residents of Háng Pu Xi resettlement area are hoping that relevant agencies will soon complete power connections, internal roads, and water systems so that they can quickly settle into stable living conditions.

In Tìa Dình commune, the resettlement project for Tìa Mùng village provides housing for 70 households. The main components include land leveling, house plots, internal roads, electricity, and water systems. As of October 1, about 98% of the ground leveling work had been completed. The Project Management and Land Development Board, Region II, has handed over all 70 land plots to the commune authorities for transparent and public lot allocation.

According to Deputy Chairman of the Tìa Dình commune People’s Committee, Mr. Nguyễn Đức Đô, the draw for land allocation was conducted openly and fairly, ensuring the rights of all households. After receiving their plots, residents immediately began building their homes, gradually stabilizing their lives after the flood.

In Mường Luân commune, agricultural production suffered severe losses, with over 400 hectares of rice and crops buried and 16 irrigation works heavily damaged. Mr. Trần Văn Thủy, Head of the Commune’s Economic Division, said: “The commune is now focusing on helping residents restore their farmland and resume production while coordinating with relevant agencies to accelerate the repair and restoration of irrigation systems. These works have reached about 25% completion, and both the commune and contractors are mobilizing maximum manpower and equipment to speed up progress and soon ensure stable agricultural production.”

Thanks to the joint efforts and close coordination among all levels and sectors, most affected households have now been safely resettled, and teaching and learning activities have resumed normally. People are gradually regaining stability, overcoming their losses, and rebuilding their lives in new, safer communities.
