Climate Change, DRR and Humanitarian Typhoon Damrey hit the central coast of Vietnam on 4 November 2017, bringing heavy rainfall, flooding and strong winds. More than 100 people were killed, around 3,400 houses were destroyed and over 50,000 households lost their means of livelihood. Australia is working with CARE International in Vietnam to assist communities affected by Typhoon Damrey in Quang Nam and Thua Thien Hue provinces in central Vietnam. Australia’s support helps people with access to foods, medicines, drinking water and shelter. Cash support combined with farming technical trainings assist farmers in recovering their livelihoods. The total value of this investment is $0.4 million to be expended during the 2017-18 financial year.
