📋 Tender Overview
In recent days, prolonged heavy rain has caused serious flooding in Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa and some South Central - Central Highlands provinces, leaving heavy damage to people and property. In that context, the image of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, despite being on a business trip abroad, twice convening emergency online meetings with ministries, branches and localities to direct rescue work left a strong impression. At 10:00 p.m. on November 20 (Hanoi time), from Algeria, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired an emergency online meeting with leaders of ministries, agencies, and localities on the situation and urgent solutions to respond to floods and natural disasters in a number of central provinces - Photo VGP/Nhat Bac This is not only an administrative direction, but also shows the spirit of an acting Government, not letting any geographical distance create delays in rescuing the people. Remote direction but closely following each development. Emergency online meetings show a flexible and effective method of direction in the context of extreme natural disasters. From abroad, the Prime Minister directly listened to reports from localities, asking ministries and branches to immediately deploy urgent tasks: evacuating people in dangerous areas, mobilizing helicopters and special vehicles, opening roads to isolated areas, ensuring food and clean water, and preparing forces to fix infrastructure after the water recedes. Data-based management thinking and action right in the golden time are especially important points. Directions are given continuously, linked to the reality of each village and each commune; Information is updated in real time; Issues that arise are handled right from the highest level of the Government. This shows that in an emergency situation, national leaders can command from anywhere, as long as the information and reporting system operates smoothly. At 2:00 a.m. on November 23 (South African time, or 7:00 a.m. on the same day Hanoi time), from Johannesburg, South Africa, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired an emergency online meeting with ministries, branches, agencies, and localities through domestic bridge points on the rain and flood situation and continuing to respond and overcome the consequences of natural disasters in the Central provinces - Photo VGP/Nhat Bac Consistent direction from the Party Central Committee: axis connecting the Politburo - Central Committee Secretary - Government In the context of fast-moving and complex natural disasters, with the drastic direction of the Politburo and the Secretariat, the Prime Minister and the Government have also given important and thorough instructions. As soon as the floods caused great damage, the Secretariat requested party committees and authorities at all levels to focus maximally on protecting peoples lives, evacuating dangerous areas, and not leaving people isolated without access to support. The Politburo also emphasized the need to mobilize total forces and closely coordinate between the military, police, health care, traffic and local authorities. The Government is assigned to preside over unified coordination and promptly handle all arising situations. The consistent direction from the Politburo and the Secretariat to the Government and Prime Minister has created a smooth command axis, helping rescue measures to be deployed quickly and synchronously, focusing on the ultimate goal: protecting the safety of peoples lives and property. Concluding the online emergency meeting at 2:00 a.m. from South Africa, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the people need us the most in difficult times, related entities must put themselves in the position of the people to overcome the consequences of natural disasters as quickly and effectively as possible, with the highest focus on people - Photo: VGP/Nhat Bac The drastic intervention of the military, police and social forces The functional forces quickly deployed rescue and support measures people. The army mobilized helicopters, speedboats, amphibious vehicles, organized search and rescue, and provided goods to people in areas isolated for many days. The Ministry of National Defenses timely presence at hot spots helped significantly reduce casualties. Police stayed on site, organized emergency evacuations, regulated traffic in deeply flooded sections, handled emergency situations related to the safety of life and property, and prevented fake news from affecting operations and peoples psychology. Volunteer forces and people continued to be a bright spot, demonstrating the spirit of solidarity of the Vietnamese community. Hundreds of volunteer groups cooked meals, collected goods, brought boats into flooded areas, and supported the elderly, children and households in difficulty. That joint effort is an important foundation for creating synergy in the response. Frankly recognizing the bottlenecks in response and coordination. This flood has revealed a number of bottlenecks that require strong adjustments in the coming time. First, logistics bottlenecks are clearly evident. Many roads leading into flood areas are seriously clogged. There are times and places where trucks carrying relief goods are stuck for a long time. This congestion partly reflects the enthusiasm of the community, but also shows the lack of a unified coordination mechanism, making relief goods, which are the most needed in thein the early hours, not being able to get to the right place at the right time. Second, objective limitations at the grassroots level. Many localities have made great efforts, but in the face of such a large scale of natural disasters, the capacity to self-respond is overloaded. These limitations are not the fault of any group or individual, and need to be supplemented with more modern tools and methods. Third, the motto 4 on the spot needs to be upgraded. The motto on-site command; on-site forces; on-site means and supplies; on-site logistics is correct, but more suit
