In the face of the above situation, the Ministry requested localities to inspect and review all dike works, fully prepare materials and means for natural disaster prevention according to the "4 on-site" motto; at the same time, promptly overcome existing incidents, strictly implement the direction of Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha in Official Dispatch No. 5183/VPCP-NN dated June 11, 2025.

Localities are required to report implementation results to the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment before July 25, 2025.
