On the morning of November 5, the National Assembly continued to discuss socioeconomic issues in the hall. Faced with many opinions from delegates on the issue of damage caused by natural disasters, rains and floods in the Central region … Minister of Natural Resources and Environment (TN-MT) Tran Hong Ha has more than 10 minutes to speak to the National Assembly on the matter. this matter.
Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Hong Ha speaks before the National Assembly
Preamble, Minister Tran Hong Ha share the pain, loss and difficulties of people in the Central region who suffer from natural disasters. The Minister was also moved when referring to the sacrifices and struggles of cadres and soldiers, the local authorities have been working hard to rescue, rescue and overcome the consequences in recent years.
Minister Tran Hong Ha said that Vietnam is located in the Southwest Pacific hurricane zone and is one of the top 16 countries in the world affected by extreme weather.

Regarding the situation of natural disasters that occurred in the Central region recently, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment said that it is necessary to have a complete scientific assessment to find the cause, but it can be said that the main cause is due to a combination of natural disasters.
“Four storms, of which the ninth most powerful in the last 20 years, are very dangerous. Along with that, the rain has exceeded all historical indicators, including the days in Quang Nam, the amount of rain more than 500 mm ; There are places where the precipitation is measured in the entire wave is up to 2,000-4,000 mm. You can say that this is pouring water, no longer rain, history has never had similar data to calculate mathematics “- said Mr. Tran Hong Ha.
Regarding the landslide in the recent areas of Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, Quang Nam, the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment said that this area is at an altitude of 300-900m, so if we conclude The reason here is that due to hydroelectricity, there is no hydroelectricity here and the Tra Leng 3 hydroelectric plant is currently under construction. “What I mean is that we should not make assumptions, but rather we should rely on science,” he said.
In addition, this entire area is located in the geological fault zone, in the past this fault zone was close to creating weathering, fault 9-16 m, very low cohesion; located in the steep mountainous terrain of V-shaped rivers and streams … “This is always in the tectonic dynamics that is fault caused by geological catastrophes formed, causing the crumbling of soil and rock. Besides the exogenous problem that are intense rains, the expert calculated that if the entire area in 5-10 days only needs to rain 100 mm, there is a risk of landslides. Precipitation measured in the course of up to 2,000-4,000 mm, increases the severity of soil shear and makes the cohesion of the sliding plates, together with a combination of compositional disaster factors. Heard of small landslides associated with steep hills, rivers and streams that form lakes and lakes and activate endogenous geological activities that are landslide activities “, Minister Tran Hong Ha said.
“In the planted forests, the legions have been 100% green. According to the data, the area where people have lived for decades now has a forest cover of more than 60-80%.”
According to the minister, although central reservoirs do not have the function of cutting floods, it must be said that in the past, the operation and regulation are very smooth, tight and reasonable, which is why they have reduced floods below 30-70 . %.
“In the case of small hydroelectric plants, the failure is not due to small hydroelectric plants. There are many small hydroelectric plants in Norway. The main mistake is that we have not yet discussed the benefits, efficient design features, and technology. if we calculate that these technologies are in harmony with nature, we can still maintain the energy source without making too great changes in nature ”
“Of course the conversion of forests must have an assessment. We cannot stop changing the purpose, if the current population increases to more than 100 million people, we cannot have room for urban development. , residential design but the conversion must calculate the benefits. We have to define the area that needs to be maintained and protected, that is, protection forest, special construction forest, natural forest ”- said the Minister of Natural Resources and Environment.
