Lam Dong (VNA) – Lam Dong province has started work on 23 new houses under the “Quang Trung Campaign” for families whose homes were destroyed by floods and storms, according to the provincial People’s Committee.

The province aims to complete 100% of the new houses before January 31, 2026.

During the natural disasters from late October to early December 2025, a total of 23 houses were completely destroyed, while around 750 others across the province suffered damage. Immediately afterwards, the military, police, benefactors and local residents joined hands to repair 668 houses with minor damage, enabling affected families to resume normal daily life.

However, statistics showed that 82 houses remain severely damaged and require major repairs. To date, 33 of these have been repaired, accounting for 40.2% of the plan.

The province is urgently rebuilding houses that collapsed or were completely destroyed, with assistance of 120 million VND per house. At the same time, support is being provided for the repair of damaged houses, with funding ranging from 20 million to 40 million VND per house, with completion targeted before December 20, 2025.

In just six days, from December 3 to 8, 2025, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding and serious losses in Lam Dong. One person was killed, about 7,104 households were affected, 4,192 hectares of crops were damaged, and 12,573 livestock and poultry were killed or swept away. Floods also damaged numerous roads. In particular, 20 houses collapsed completely and four others were damaged, with total losses estimated at over 230 billion VND (8.74 million USD).

So far, all educational institutions have resumed normal operations, healthcare services are stable and uninterrupted, and electricity and telecommunications infrastructure has been restored and is operating reliably. National highways 20, 27, 27C and 28, as well as the Prenn pass, have been reopened to traffic, ensuring safe and normal traffic./.
