Following the historic storms and floods that struck in late 2025, Gia Lai Province earmarked thousands of billions of Vietnamese dong to review and implement 16 projects and relocation plans, providing urgent resettlement and stability for more than 1,000 households living in disaster-prone areas.
From lands once battered by floods and storms, a series of resettlement sites is gradually taking shape, creating new living spaces for residents affected by mountain landslides, storm surges, and flooding.
Since July and August, across Gia Lai Province from the highlands to coastal areas, hundreds of officials, soldiers, and construction workers have been racing against time to build new homes for disaster-affected residents.
At the resettlement project for disaster-prone communities in the Ia Tul highlands, 219 soldiers from the Gia Lai Provincial Military Command have been helping residents dismantle old houses and rebuild new homes.
The site will provide permanent housing for 207 households that regularly face flooding. Notably, all homes are being built in the traditional stilt-house style of the Jrai ethnic group, ensuring compatibility with local customs while preserving the cultural identity of mountain communities.
Along the coast, resettlement areas for residents affected by storm surges and land erosion are also gradually taking shape. Rows of bright red-tiled roofs are rising one after another, offering hope for a safer, more stable, and more peaceful future for communities living in disaster-prone areas.
