Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on August 12 ordered leaders of flood-hit Lao Cai, Yen Bai and Phu Tho provinces to ensure victims have sufficient food, security and health care.
He asked local authorities to assess the financial cost of the flooding, while ensuring that food prices remain stable in the region. Repairing health clinics, irrigation systems, electricity supplies, schools and other infrastructure should be a top priority and the provinces should revise their natural disaster prevention plans to minimise the future effects of storms and flooding.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development will be responsible for supplying replacement rice and seeds to farmers.
The Central Steering Board for Flood and Storm Control reported on August 12 that flood fatalities had reached 112 and 45 went missing. Lao Cai is the hardest hit province with 48 deaths, followed by Yen Bai - 35 deaths.
