Thua Thien Hue receives post-flood supports
VTV.vn - Local residents in Thua Thien Hue Prov., one of the hardest hit region in the recent flooding in central Vietnam, will receive close to 500 thousand USD in supports by the government.

This supports come from the Prime Minister's decision to use 7.2 million USD from the government's budget reserve in 2016 to support 8 localities in the Central region.

The funding will be used to support livelihoods and recover infrastructure damages following the recent floodings. But one of the biggest concerns for local residents after several consecutive floods is that the risk of river bank and coastline erosion. Without prompt and adequate funding to reinforce dykes, the risk may lead to new sea opening that could potentially impact the livelihoods of local residents.
