The plan is to raise environmental awareness and responsibilities of the Party committees and chains of command at all levels as well as improve their capabilities on preventing the natural disasters.
Accordingly, the plan themed “Grassroots-level military forces preventing natural disasters proactively and effectively” will be carried out during the National Week for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control from May 15 to 22.
Units in the whole military will organize numerous activities with banners and slogans in support of the National Week for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, while the military mass media and the political organs of all defense agencies and military units from the ministerial level to grassroots should increase information dissemination on the natural disaster prevention.
In addition, all defense agencies and military units are required to provide knowledge of the natural disaster prevention for all troops and defense workers, regularly inspect their barracks and facilities, especially in disaster-prone areas, and prepare forces and equipment for any unexpected situations.
The Ministry of National Defense required the General Department of Politics to direct the military press agencies to enhance information dissemination on the military’s activities in response to the National Week for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control. Each unit under the Defense Ministry should select a regiment or an equivalent unit to launch the plan.
The results of the agencies and units’ implementation of the plan should be reported to the Provincial and Municipal Military Commands, the Military Region Commands, and then to the standing board of the Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control under the Ministry of National Defense no later than June 3, 2020.
The video clips and banners could be downloaded at http://tkcn.gov.vn, the website of the Office of the National Committee for Natural Disaster Response, and Search and Rescue, while the contents for information dissemination are published at phongchongthientai.mard.gov.vn.
