Khanh Hoa province has established aid criteria for flood victims, offering substantial financial support to help residents rebuild and recover. The Provincial People's Committee (PPC) issued these guidelines on 23/11. Families whose homes were completely destroyed and rendered uninhabitable will receive 60 million VND to rebuild. Households with homes that were partially collapsed, severely flooded, or heavily damaged are eligible for 30 million VND in assistance.

Beyond housing, individuals within affected households facing hardship will receive 1 million VND each. To support education, students from elementary school upwards in these families will be granted 500,000 VND per student for school supplies and textbooks.

The necessary funds for these relief efforts will be drawn from several sources: central government support for local areas, the province's contingency budget, the disaster prevention fund, and other legal sources.
