The total damage up to now (converted to money) is estimated at 10,829,585.88 million VND.
The damage caused by storm No. 3 in the city is very large, and some units and localities have not yet fully restored their communication systems, so it is not possible to fully assess and count.
At the meeting, leaders of local departments and branches reported on the damage after storm No. 3 and plans to overcome the damage; at the same time, made recommendations and proposals for support to overcome the consequences of the storm.
After listening to the reports and opinions of the Departments, branches, units and localities, Secretary of the City Party Committee Le Tien Chau highly appreciated the participation of the entire political system and armed forces; he was especially happy to receive the consensus, support and non-subjectivity of the people in the work of preventing and fighting storm No. 3, thereby minimizing the damage caused by storm No. 3. He acknowledged that the authorities at all levels had many creative and responsible solutions to take care of the people when they were brought to temporary shelters.
The Standing Committee of the City Party Committee basically agreed with the statistics of damages, the solutions being done and will be done in the coming time. However, the Secretary of the City Party Committee noted that the statistics of damages must be methodical, unified, urgent, and done responsibly, so that there will be accurate statistics and solutions to overcome them. Through listening to the report, the sectors and localities are still confused and overlap in the statistics of damages, so there are still differences leading to data not being fully utilized.
The Secretary of the City Party Committee suggested that there must be guidelines on how to compile statistics and closely inspect the statistical process; the sectors must have detailed guidelines, determine the time, separate overlapping content, classify people, businesses, agency headquarters, state facilities, which damage is local, which damage is central. Central agencies located in the locality must request funding support from superior agencies; to overcome the problem, it is necessary to clearly state the source of funding. Any unit or locality that compiles statistics must be responsible for the accuracy of the statistics.
In the work of overcoming, the Secretary of the City Party Committee requested that it be urgent and timely to grasp the simplified procedures according to the provisions of the law; have detailed instructions for the implementing units; the statistics of damages, costs of which sources, how much, who the subjects are, etc. must strictly follow the regulations; strictly prohibit taking advantage of this policy.
The Secretary of the City Party Committee assigned the Party Committee of the City People's Committee to direct the mobilization of all resources; cut down and postpone tasks that are not really urgent to focus on overcoming the consequences after storm No. 3; urgently allocate funds for administrative agencies, hospitals, and schools to repair and overcome the consequences; request the Department of Construction and the Office of the City People's Committee to urgently implement the procedures for proposing, appraising and submitting, in the spirit of highest priority. Have solutions to support farmers who suffered losses in production and agriculture after the storm; in the immediate future, study and entrust the city's public investment capital to the social policy bank to lend to businesses and households to restore production, focusing on areas such as agricultural production and aquaculture; consider debt suspension, debt extension, and debt cancellation for borrowers who suffered losses after storm No. 3.
The Department of Industry and Trade and the Department of Construction shall step up inspection and handling activities to prevent price increases of construction materials; ensure price stability and food supply for the city's people. The State Bank - Hai Phong branch shall direct local commercial bank branches to review and summarize the damage of customers who are borrowing capital to promptly apply support measures and remove difficulties for customers such as: restructuring debt repayment time, considering interest exemption and reduction, continuing to provide new loans to restore production for customers affected by the storm. Study preferential mechanisms on taxes, electricity and water bills; policies on salary and social insurance payments for employees affected by losses at businesses that had to stop operating after the storm; direct insurance companies to speed up the appraisal and insurance compensation process for businesses affected by the storm.
The Secretary of the City Party Committee suggested continuing to mobilize forces to clean and sanitize streets and residential areas. The health sector organizes disinfection spraying, ensuring environmental sanitation to prevent disease outbreaks after the storm. Continue to urgently repair damage to fallen trees, electricity, telecommunications and traffic infrastructure. The entire political system focuses on ensuring people's safety and peace of mind when moving out of type D apartments. Limit festival and entertainment activities, organize economical Mid-Autumn Festival activities to reserve funds to repair damage after the storm.
After the storm, the production and business activities of enterprises are affected, inevitably, the lives and jobs of workers and laborers will be affected, even facing difficulties, so the Secretary of the City Party Committee requested the Department of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs to proactively grasp the situation, promptly advise on solutions, and not let workers lose their jobs due to the impact of storm No. 3; all levels and sectors, especially the Trade Union, must promptly deploy activities to care for the material and spiritual lives of workers affected by storm No. 3; the armed forces must still ensure political security and fire prevention and fighting.
To create conditions for businesses to focus on overcoming the consequences of storm No. 3, the Secretary of the City Party Committee proposed that the delegations that are currently inspecting and examining businesses should postpone the progress; for the delegations that are in the Plan but have not yet implemented, the time should be postponed to early 2025. Assign the Party Delegation of the Vietnam Fatherland Front of the city to direct, based on the damage reported by units and localities, to have a Plan to allocate and support in a timely manner, to the right subjects, and in the right places; immediately allocate support funds for localities to support people whose houses were damaged after the storm, especially houses with blown roofs or collapsed houses...
The Secretary of the City Party Committee requested the members of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, the leaders of the City People's Committee, the Departments and branches to join hands, promote the spirit of solidarity, join hands to call on and mobilize businesses and people with conditions to support within their capacity, helping the People to overcome some of the consequences caused by storm No. 3. In the immediate future, all agencies and units in the city are requested to respond to the campaign and call of the Vietnam Fatherland Front of the city. Assign localities to continue to count the damage after the storm, focus on implementing solutions to rebuild damaged infrastructure systems, especially urgent items at schools, hospitals, and headquarters of administrative agencies. Regarding the telecommunications, electricity and water infrastructure systems, they have been basically restored; however, it is necessary to continue to review and consolidate to ensure stability and quality as before the storm.
The Secretary of the City Party Committee called on businesses and all people of the city to continue promoting the tradition of solidarity, bravery, and the spirit of "mutual love and support", joining hands, sharing, supporting and encouraging each other to overcome the damage caused by storm No. 3 in order to quickly bring the city back to normal life...
