Under the "Quang Trung Campaign" all 34,759 damaged houses have been repaired as of December 30, 2025. and the construction of all 1,597 houses requiring complete rebuilding was also essentially finalized by January 15.
This information was released by the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment during a conference on January 16, chaired by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, to review the "Quang Trung Campaign", a lightning-speed effort to rebuild and repair housing for residents affected by recent natural disasters and floods in Central Vietnam.
Between October and November 2025, Central Vietnam faced extreme weather events, including storms No. 10, 12, and 13, along with prolonged heavy rains. These led to historic flood levels across six major river systems, causing severe loss of life and property. Specifically, 1,597 houses were collapsed, destroyed, or swept away, and 34,759 others were heavily damaged. In response, the Prime Minister launched the Quang Trung Campaign with the urgent goal of completing all housing repairs and reconstruction before the 2026 Lunar New Year (Tet).
Speaking at the conference, PM Chinh stated "As of today, we can confidently affirm that although the 'Quang Trung Campaign' involved no gunfire, it was a 'swift battle and a swift victory'—and not just a victory, but a resounding one. This is not only a source of joy and happiness for the households who lost their homes in the recent disasters in our beloved Central region, but a collective joy for the entire country and the nation on the threshold of the 14th National Party Congress and the Lunar New Year holiday."
Upon the campaign's conclusion, the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment proposed that the Prime Minister direct ministries, sectors, and localities to research, review, and standardize the organizational model of the Quang Trung Campaign for application in future emergency situations.
Minister Tran Duc Thang recommended that the PM direct a review to perfect mechanisms and policies supporting the construction and repair of disaster-resilient housing, particularly flood-proof homes for residents in frequently affected areas.
He also encouraged the adoption of safe design templates that align with natural conditions, local customs, and the financial capacity of the people.
Furthermore, the Minister emphasized the need to continue allocating resources from the central budget while creating mechanisms to effectively mobilize social resources from businesses and domestic and international organizations. These efforts aim to stabilize the lives of the people in a manner that is public, transparent, timely, and effective.
