Military Region 2 has helped construct a resettlement project for 35 households in Át Thượng Hamlet
Typhoon Yagi left unprecedented devastation in Yên Bái Province, causing extensive loss of life, widespread damage to homes and destruction of critical infrastructure. Amid the tragedy, the province witnessed a swift and unified response from the political system, government and local communities, demonstrating extraordinary resilience and compassion. With timely policies, financial support and collaborative efforts, authorities prioritised stabilising lives and rebuilding homes to ensure no one would be left behind. Military Region 2, as directed by the Central Military Commission, has helped construct a resettlement project for 35 households in Át Thượng Hamlet. The houses, designed in the traditional Tày stilt-house style, are 130 square metres in size and cost VNĐ650 million ($25,500) each. The project began on November 18 and construction teams are racing to complete the homes in time for the Lunar New Year.
To address Typhoon Yagi’s aftermath, Yên Bái Province implemented early and proactive measures, mobilising the political system to respond and recover. Deputy Chairman Nguyễn Thế Phước of the Yên Bái People’s Committee said that the province’s swift social welfare policies had been key. The Provincial People’s Council promptly issued two resolutions, one to support tuition fees for preschool to university students during the 2024-2025 academic year, and another to provide financial assistance for agricultural production recovery.
For families who lost their homes, the council approved 209 projects reallocating 13 hectares of land for resettlement. Financial assistance and land allocations were made to ensure safe and stable living conditions.
Yên Bái has so far allocated VNĐ300 billion ($11.7 million) for recovery efforts, relocated over 21,000 households, and repaired or built nearly 1,300 homes. These measures have helped restore normalcy to people’s lives, with the province hoping that all affected households will have new homes before the Lunar New Year.
Through its disaster response and recovery efforts, Yên Bái has strengthened public trust in the Party’s leadership and the collective strength of the political system from central to local levels. VNS
