VNG, Zalo, Zalopay contribute to support people in the North to fight floods

Zalo updated a series of new features to support people in accessing emergency relief resources, while Zalopay became a donation channel accompanying Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper to support people in the North to overcome the consequences of super typhoon Yagi .

Specifically, in the complicated flood situation, Zalo has opened the Zalo SOS (Request for Support) feature for users in affected areas.

When users select the “Request support” feature, Zalo will allow users to perform two operations including “Connect for help” and “Emergency contact” directly on the Zalo Mini App “Vietnam Disaster Prevention”.

Users can share the status “I am safe” or “I am in trouble”, along with a description of their specific situation and a location update. After posting, the user’s status will also be displayed on their profile picture and diary to share information with friends as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, the “Help Connect” feature helps people call for help in emergency situations. The “Emergency Contact” feature provides a list of hotlines in areas affected by the super typhoon.

In addition , the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control and many ministries and branches of localities have continuously sent messages via Zalo OA (Official Account), updating information and providing instructions on storm and flood prevention for people. Up to now, 143 million messages have been sent to people in the provinces of Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Hai Duong, Bac Ninh, Bac Giang , Vinh Phuc, Phu Tho, Thai Nguyen, Tuyen Quang, Thanh Hoa, etc.

With the goal of creating a convenient and reputable donation channel for philanthropists, and spreading information to more than 14 million Zalopay users nationwide, Zalopay has joined with Nguoi Lao Dong newspaper to launch the program " Supporting compatriots affected by storm No. 3 ". The goal of the program is to campaign to raise 1 billion VND within 30 days.

After only 2 days of launching, the amount of donations recorded on the Zalopay application reached more than 400 million VND with 5,000 donations.

In addition to calling for help from the community, VNG itself has also called on VNG Starters to directly participate in donating on Zalopay, joining hands to help people in the North overcome difficulties.
