According to the Department of Construction, the locality developed three model design options tailored to each area. The structures are grade three, two-story buildings, constructed with reinforced concrete, serving both community activities and ensuring safe shelter during natural disasters.

Each structure costs approximately 1,56-1,77 billion VND. Several localities anticipate a large number of units, including Hoa My commune with 13 houses, Hoa Thinh commune with 14 houses, Phu Yen ward with 18 houses, Tuy Hoa ward with 15 houses, Dong Hoa ward with 16 houses, Krong Bong commune with 15 houses, and Ea Sup commune with 10 houses.

Land for construction will be allocated by local authorities, prioritizing state-managed land, existing cultural house plots, surplus headquarters, or community activity land.

A representative from the Department of Construction stated that the project's investment policy proposal is currently being drafted. They have also requested the Department of Finance to advise on capital allocation for its implementation.

During a field inspection, Luong Nguyen Minh Triet, Secretary of the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee, assessed this as an urgent task to protect the lives and property of residents in disaster-prone areas.

He mandated that the implementation process must ensure the design includes all essential components, integrating communication systems and early warning capabilities to support command and control during incidents.

Provincial leaders also urged localities to review and select high, safe construction sites, striving to commence construction before 30/6 and complete them for use before 15/9.

Statistics show that last November's historic floods resulted in 113 fatalities in the province, hundreds of damaged homes, and extensive infrastructure damage, with total estimated losses nearing 7,000 billion VND.
