Landslide map for Mekong delta region to be developed
VTV.vn - The Mekong Delta region is a hot spot for landslides. Currently, there are over 560 areas totaling 800km that are at high risk of landslides in the region.

The erosion of rivers, canals and coastlines in most of the Mekong Delta directly is threatening the safety of many residential areas, rivers and coastal infrastructure.

The PM decided to provide $700 million US dollars in aid from the State Budget Reserves and $36 million US dollars from the World Bank fund which is aimed to carry out climate change response projects in Mekong Delta localities.
