1 The 9th Disaster Risk Management Seminar "Integrated Urban Flood Risk Management: Obstacles and Opportunities in East Asia-Pacific and Lessons from Japan" INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK, CHALLENGES IN VIETNAM AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM JAPAN LE QUANG TUAN, PhD Department of Natural Disaster Prevention and Control Directorate of Water Resources MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT, VIETNAM Tokyo, Apr 2016

2 THE CONTENTS Urban Flood Overview in Vietnam Existing Institutional Framework Related Ongoing Activities Key Challenges Lessons Learned from Japan

3 VIETNAM Urban Flooding/ Inundation situation

4 VIETNAM Integrated Urban Flood Management Existing Institution Framework Number of legal documents related to Flood Management (in general) was issued BUT NOT YET a national Integrated Framework on Flood Management, especially in Urban Area; River basin Management was conducted by many Ministries; In 2013, Law on Natural Disaster Prevention and Control: Flood is 1/19+ disaster types; When plan, construct or upgrade the urbanization area => adapt and ensure the disaster characteristics / disaster protection plan requirements. In 2012, Law on Water Resources: consider Flood is one of challenges due to climate change impact in the country; not focus directly to flood in urban area; most of constructions project must not block the flow and fit standards for flood prevention; water conveyance to other basin; reservoir operation in emergency; In 2009, Law on Urban Planning: ensure the ground level for natural disaster (flood). In 2009, Decision No.1590 of The Prime Minister on approving Irrigation Master Plan until 2020, the Government decided the aim to increase the insurance of drainage, flood protection and prevention to adapt with climate change and seawater rise; For urban area: complete dyke system consolidation to protect people and infrastructure from loss. In 2006, Law on Dyke Management: Dyke protection plan for rivers with dyke, construction and maintenance, strengthen, management /protection area, utilization of dyke.

5 VIETNAM Integrated Urban Flood Management Related Ongoing Activities MARD: Since 2003, MARD has approved 34 Irrigation Plan/Integrated water utilization/water development and Protection Plan/River basin water plans in most of huge river basins in the country; Prime Minister: 03 regional water use plan in which refer to flood protection measures/plan; Jica Project on Increasing the Natural Disaster Resilience Capacity in middle Region of Vietnam, Thua Thien Hue PPC approved Integrated Flood Management to 2010 in Huong river Basin : integrate social activities, land use plan to build up resilience community to climate change and propose list of structural and non-structural measurements. Other province/cities authorities: Disaster protection plan development, risk maps; flooding map due to sea water level rise and storm surge (coastal cities).

6 VIETNAM Integrated Urban Flood Management - Key Challenges Lack of consistent coordination between state agencies to conduct flood integrated management: the coordination between the ministries and localities have not yet led to more strict/effective measures that can cause function overlapping; some measures have not been fully implemented. Lack of monitoring tools/system for flood management performance; Lack of sources of finance: state budget can not afford. Lack of technical guidelines on safety criteria; not yet developed and issued. In Urban planning: Lack an integration of new technology in urban water management; lack of society participation; Lack combination with purpose of natural disaster prevention and control focus on urban area; key issues in facing new normal and climate change. Status violating the protection of dikes, dams, river banks, lake; people's perception River bank erosion due to inappropriate sand exploitation in river bed, etc.

7 VIETNAM Integrated Urban Flood Management - Lessons Learned from Japan Integrated Water Management in river basin; Establish a well-functional Command center for flood Operational, forecasting and early warning system; Apply new technologies, combine structural and non-structural measurement in disaster management. Apply model of multipurpose retarding ponds, and super levee for the low-lying areas for new urbanization areas. Drainage system including canals and sewers networks must be completed before development of residents area. Well operation and maintenance for the infrastructure works involved in flood risk management (flood gates, pumping stations, canals cleaning up, etc)
