Da Nang flood prevention and disaster response

Overview

Da Nang has initiated comprehensive measures to address urban flooding and enhance disaster resilience. The city approved a 12 trillion VND urban flood prevention plan through 2030, focusing on ground elevation adjustments and surface water drainage across five control zones. This infrastructure strategy includes land raising, river embankment reinforcement, and improved pumping capacity to mitigate risks from climate change and rising sea levels.

Complementing these structural improvements, the Da Nang Military Command launched a specialized training program for 284 personnel to improve search and rescue capabilities in flood-prone areas. This training focuses on inland waterway vehicle operation and emergency maneuvers. To support these response efforts, the city has invested in civil defense training grounds, assembly points, and specialized equipment, including drones for relief supply transport and rescue boats.
