That is the information provided by the relevant ministries in the usual government press conference on the night of October 30.
Landslides like that of the 337 National Defense Economic Division are not included in the warning, so more science and technology needs to be applied to warn. We have an erosion map, but it’s 1 / 20,000, while the minimum deployment needs to be 1 / 10,000 and the specific mission is 1/500, so it can’t be done right away. You need to have direction and investment for this job in the near future. The human impact in disasters is positive, both good and bad. We have to be partial, but adaptable and work to work.
Mr. Nguyen Hoang Hiep – Vice Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development
At the press conference, representatives from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and the Ministry of Construction answered the newspaper’s questions. Youth on “Is there a landslide warning map?” and “The review and evaluation of environmental impacts with small hydroelectric projects is done as? How to disclose environmental impact reports for hydroelectric projects like?”
Mr. Le Cong Thanh, Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment, said that this disaster is more severe than in the history of 1999 that occurred in the Central region. Typhoon No. 9 is the strongest storm in 20 years, with heavy rains lasting longer than historic ones.
With the impact of human and natural disasters, Mr. Thanh said that the Central region is high mountainous, with a geology with a lot of old, cracked and clayey earth, very unfavorable, such heavy rains and prolonged rains. contained in this weathering layer becomes flaccid and has a tensile force.
“In addition, due to people’s subsistence activities, we have to open leveled roads to build houses, schools, hydroelectric plants … these are activities that create loss of legs, unstable slope, it is the trigger for Disasters can happen – explained Thanh – However, whether deforestation is the cause or not, it is necessary to evaluate each specific case ”.
Environmental impact assessment with small hydroelectric power plant projects, Mr. Thanh said that the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment always evaluates specific impact factors such as forests, vegetation, biodiversity, minimum flow. Hydroelectricity must be returned.
The forest law strictly regulates the conversion of forest land, so by ensuring reforestation and forest development, some factories have raised awareness, while maintaining aquatic forests for the factory area, ensuring to avoid landslides.
According to Mr. Thanh, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce advised the Government to eliminate 472 small hydroelectric plants from the plan, but with 213 points of construction potential, it is necessary to closely consider ensuring development environmental. sustainable school.

Mr. Hiep commented: “The response is also very proactive like the army, the police basically don’t sleep, but the equipment needs to be adapted, suitable for rain and floods. I have invested a lot, but my infrastructure, the resistance, are still at a level. For example, the seawall is designed to withstand waves and winds of level 10, so the budget should be doubled ”.
Also in relation to the landslide map to warn of flash floods and landslides, Vice Minister of Construction Le Quang Hung shared information: “With pipeline floods, flash floods, landslides, there is no structural solution. The prevention solution is the selection of the new construction site to avoid landslides.
We have a map, but the scale is not high, 1 / 20,000, the problem of having to give the scale of 1/500 will have specific solutions, then we can build a new one.
“With existing buildings, you will review and select other locations; you will have specific instructions for people and households to recognize, warn and recognize simple instructions within a 500m radius to have a relocation move in a short time, avoid shelter. Currently, the Ministry of Construction is coordinating with other ministries to implement “- said Mr. Hung.
