Under the decision, then Command of Military Region 4 is assigned to presenting the donation on behalf of the MND to people in flood-hit localities to help them ease difficulties and losses caused by recent floods and heavy rains.

Additionally, over the past days, the MND has instructed military units and defense agencies to coordinate with local Party committees and authorities to closely follow the local situation so that forces and vehicles could be swiftly mobilized to mitigate damage.

Military units and defense agencies are also to contribute to maintaining political security and social safety while helping people in flood-hit areas back to production soon after floodwaters recede.
