Over the past years, the Party Committee and Command of Military Region 4 have closely coordinated with the Party committees and authorities of localities in the area to effectively implement the resolution. This coordination has led to significant improvements in the awareness and responsibility of officers, soldiers, and citizens regarding natural disaster prevention and control, and search and rescue operations. Over the past 10 years, Military Region 4 has deployed over 294,000 officers and soldiers and more than 5,000 vehicles to respond to and mitigate the effects of accidents, natural disasters, and catastrophes, as well as to conduct search and rescue operations.
