The Central City of Danang plans to set up a natural disaster prevention and control fund worth VND8.4 billion (US$403,200).
The fund, supported by the US-based Institute of Social and Environmental Transition, will build and upgrade storm-shelters as well as support local households vulnerable to climate change.
It will also improve public awareness of the impact of climate change, especially among local women’s association members.
The project will be carried out from 2011-2014 in four districts, including Son Tra, Lien Chieu, Ngu Hanh Son and Hoa Vang.
