The household kits include carefully selected items to help alleviate the hardships of the most vulnerable people in Yen Bai, providing timely supplies to those who have lost their belongings so they can overcome the consequences of the storm.
Household kit includes bucket of water, rubber boots for adults and children, blankets, medicine, sanitary napkins, whistle and other essential items.
Super Typhoon Yagi made landfall in Vietnam on September 7, causing severe damage to 26 northern and coastal provinces. The storm was accompanied by heavy rain, with rainfall exceeding 400 mm recorded in some areas, causing severe flooding and landslides, flash floods in the northern mountainous areas and provinces in the Red River Delta.
As a key member of the Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership (DRRP), the Disaster Management Working Group (DMWG) and the United Nations Disaster Risk Management Team in Viet Nam (DRMT), UNDP was at the forefront of the response to Typhoon Yagi.
UNDP closely monitored the impact of the storms and floods, leading 2 of the 3 Joint Assessment Teams to the most affected provinces, including Quang Ninh, Hai Phong, Yen Bai and Lao Cai, and implementing rapid emergency response activities.
UNDP Resident Representative Ramla Khalidi expressed her deepest condolences to the Government of Viet Nam and the people affected by the devastation caused by Typhoon Yagi.
She shared the loss and hardship of communities in the northern mountainous region and the Red River Delta, and was moved by the spirit of solidarity and mutual love of the people in the face of the storm.
“We appreciate the Government’s prompt and decisive leadership in responding to this disaster, especially in coordinating relief efforts and ensuring the safety and resilience of people affected by the storm,” said Ms. Ramla Khalidi.
UNDP stands ready to support Viet Nam in conducting cross-sectoral needs assessments, emergency relief, as well as early recovery planning and long-term resilience building.
Recovery efforts need to reflect the voices of those most affected. Consulting with communities and ensuring plans take into account the needs of women and people with disabilities helps us to deliver solutions that meet the needs of all.”
Ms. Dao Tuyet Nga, Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, said: “The Government of Viet Nam and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development highly appreciate UNDP’s positive and long-term contribution to Viet Nam’s sustainable development goals, especially its early, determined and effective support for emergency relief activities and early recovery planning, responding to the extreme impacts of storm No. 3 (Yagi storm).
As one of the most active members of the Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership (DRRP) in responding to natural disasters at an early stage, UNDP has shown its sympathy and goodwill to stand side by side with the people and Government of Viet Nam during this difficult time."
UNDP’s long-standing commitment to disaster risk reduction and emergency response in Viet Nam played a key role in addressing the challenges posed by Typhoon Yagi. UNDP, in close coordination with the Government, UN agencies in Viet Nam and other partners, stands ready to provide additional emergency assistance and early recovery support, including livelihood interventions and reconstruction efforts, with a particular focus on housing and social infrastructure. |
