The northern central province of Thanh Hoa has planned to spend around VND550 billion (USD23.71 million) to relocate households in areas that face high risk of landslides and flash floods.

Every rainy season, many areas in Thanh Hoa suffer from landslides and flash floods, particularly Ngam Village in Quan Son District, On Village in Muong Lat District or Lo Village in Quan Hoa District.

The province has listed 2,846 at-risk households that need to be urgently relocated. However, the pace of relocation has been sluggish due to limited budgets. From now to 2025, the work will be divided into different stages based on the risk level.

As many as 112 households in Ngam, On and Lo villages are expected to be taken to new resettlement areas before this year’s rainy season. However, complicated terrain and the modest budget are seen as major reasons for the slow implementation.

In addition to the 2,846 households, another 7,000 are also being considered relocation.
