It also needs to immediately rehabilitate collapsed houses and help local residents return to their daily life soon.

Additionally, the Deputy PM requested Hoa Binh step up landslide prevention efforts, consider building resettlement areas for the people displaced by landslides, and immediately deal with landslide-prone sites.
