| description |
Vietnam is one of the most hazard-prone
countries in the East Asia and Pacific region. In recent
years, Vietnam has experienced an upsurge in intensity of
these natural disasters. Khanh Hoa province has suffered the
most, accounting for approximately 69 percent of the total
economic losses of Typhoon Damrey’s impact. The sectors
covered under this rapid assessment are housing,
agriculture, irrigation and flood control, and
transportation. However, agricultural losses were assessed
for crop, livestock and fishery and production forest, only.
Cross-sectoral issues such as disaster risk management
(DRM), climate change (CC) and gender were also included in
the rapid assessment, in addition to macro-economic impact
in Khanh Hoa province. The central and provincial
governments and the affected communities have been proactive
in emergency response. Warnings and operational directives
that were disseminated publicly via the media (TV and radio)
were successful in guiding the preparedness and response
efforts. As of March 2018, Khanh Hoa province has mobilized
a billion to support the emergency repair of key public
infrastructures and of houses, for flood prevention, and for
the restoration of livelihoods of the affected communities.
The joint United Nation (UN) approach provided humanitarian
aid through the distribution of cash grants and vouchers,
technical equipment and non-food items in the sectors of
food security and the restoration of livelihoods, shelter,
and water supply, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) to more
than 150,000 affected people, a substantive amount of which
were beneficiaries in Khanh Hoa. |
