VOV interviews Vu Van Tu, deputy head of the Department for Dyke Management and Flood and Storm Prevention and Control on preparations being made to protect the dyke system and cope with disasters during the flood and storm season.
"All provinces and cities with dyke systems are paying a great deal of attention to preparatory work. At present, steering boards for flood and storm prevention and control have been established from the provincial to grassroots levels. The boards have targeted key areas with the dyke system and drawn up plans to protect it." said Tu.
"The State has provided a huge investment while provincial and municipal authorities have mobilised all forces for rescue work. However, to minimise losses, local people should take an active role in preventing natural disasters," he added.
