The program received enthusiastic support from all faculty, staff, and students of the university. Accordingly, each faculty member donated at least one day's salary. All the donated money will be combined with the Hanoi National University Trade Union's fund to directly support people in Central and Central Highlands regions who are severely affected by the prolonged heavy rains, causing widespread flooding and serious landslides.
The delegation, led by Director Hoang Minh Son, along with representatives from the Trade Union and several scientists, will visit and investigate the situation in the severely affected localities. The trip aims not only to encourage and share the difficulties with the people but also serves as a mission and responsibility for the scientists to conduct field surveys, update on developments related to disaster response, and subsequently propose long-term and sustainable scientific and technological solutions.
The Party Committee, the Board of Directors, the Trade Union Executive Committee, and all staff and lecturers of the university immediately responded to the program to support the people of Central and Central Highlands regions, joining in with the activities of Hanoi National University. At the launching ceremony this morning, November 24th, to support people in Central and Central Highlands regions affected by severe floods, Director Hoang Minh Son emphasized that, in addition to immediate material support, scientists and experts from Hanoi National University will actively research urgent issues related to disaster prevention and mitigation: from forecasting and warning, hydropower operation, transportation infrastructure planning, and flood drainage systems,... aiming to sustainably address issues related to floods and climate change. The Director expressed confidence that with its strong research capacity and high sense of social responsibility, Hanoi National University can make practical contributions to the nation in disaster risk reduction, not only this year but also for many years to come.
Over the past few days, the provinces of Dak Lak, Lam Dong, Khanh Hoa, Gia Lai, Da Nang, and several neighboring localities have suffered from prolonged heavy rains, causing widespread flooding, serious landslides, and heartbreaking losses. In the face of these difficulties, the collective efforts of scientists, staff, lecturers, and students of Hanoi National University in general, and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in particular, demonstrate a sense of responsibility and commitment to contributing to the recovery from the natural disaster and supporting the people in rebuilding their lives.
