Hanoi (VNA) - Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, who also heads the National Civil Defence Steering Committee, has signed a decision on the establishment of the online portal of the committee.

The portal, at https://ptdsqg.gov.vn, will operate under the committee's office, serving national civil defence affairs. It will be responsible for publishing and providing official information on the direction and management of activities related to the prevention, response and recovery of incidents, natural disasters, catastrophes, epidemics and environmental emergencies for relevant agencies, organisations and individuals both at home and abroad. It will also disseminate laws, knowledge and skills related to civil defence to the public.

In addition, the portal will provide online administrative procedures and public services related to civil defence work, and integrate with existing emergency communication systems to receive and process information on incidents, disasters, potential hazards, and requests for assistance from organisations and individuals nationwide.
