Following historic flooding in late 2025, residents in Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak provinces have begun proactive disaster preparedness measures. In Khanh Hoa, households are constructing elevated lofts to serve as safe spaces and asset storage, building them higher than previous peak water levels. In Dak Lak, residents are reinforcing homes, stockpiling supplies for up to 10 days, and adjusting livelihoods, such as switching from cattle to poultry for easier emergency relocation. Local authorities are also investing in community infrastructure and emergency facilities. In other regions, government programs are focusing on housing improvements for vulnerable groups. In Can Tho, officials completed the construction and repair of 123 homes for the children of resistance fighters affected by chemical toxins, utilizing a budget of 9.5 billion VND and mobilizing approximately 1,500 laborers. Meanwhile, Thai Nguyen province is fast-tracking housing improvements in historical Safe Zone (ATK) areas, such as Cho Don and Dinh Hoa, to support households facing economic challenges. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-02: Vietnam accelerates housing support for veterans' descendants and historical zones Vietnam is implementing housing support programs in Can Tho and Thai Nguyen to replace dilapidated homes for descendants of resistance fighters and residents in historical revolutionary zones. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-accelerates-housing-support-for-veterans-descendants-and-historical-zones ### 2026-09-29: Vietnam residents build flood-prevention lofts after historic floods Residents in Vietnam's Khanh Hoa and Dak Lak provinces are building elevated lofts and stockpiling supplies to prepare for future flood seasons following historic flooding in late 2025. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/vietnam-residents-build-flood-prevention-lofts-after-historic-floods --- Cite as: Vietnam regional infrastructure and housing initiatives.
