Hanoi (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc has freshly signed a decision approving an emergency allocation of 80 billion VND (3.04 million USD) to the central provinces of Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, and Dak Lak to help them overcome the consequences of Typhoon Kalmaegi, the 13th storm entering the East Sea so far this year.

According to the decision, the funding is sourced from the 2025 central budget reserve, with 20 billion VND allocated to Quang Ngai, and 30 billion VND each to Gia Lai and Dak Lak. The Ministry of Finance is tasked with ensuring the accuracy of all figures and reports and with making recommendations in line with legal regulations.

The People’s Committees of the recipient provinces are responsible for managing and using the funds in compliance with regulations on State budget and other relevant legal provisions. They must ensure the money is spent for the intended purposes, in a transparent and accountable manner, avoiding losses or misuse. The provinces are also required to report on the use of funds to the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment, and relevant authorities for consolidation and submission to the Prime Minister.

By 17:00 on November 7, Kalmaegi, together with its circulation, had left five dead, three missing and 17 injured, while causing initial losses of 7.05 trillion VND in Dak Lak and Gia Lai provinces, according to the Vietnam Disaster and Dyke Management Authority under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment./.
