On 19 November 2025, the Vietnam Disaster and Dyke Management Authority (VDDMA), in collaboration with Catholic Relief Services (CRS) and the People’s Committee of Hoa An Commune, Cao Bang Province, delivered emergency support to 410 households affected by Typhoon No. 10 (Bualoi) and Typhoon No. 11 (Matmo), with a total direct assistance value of nearly VND 1.56 billion. This activity is part of an emergency assistance programme worth more than VND 1.8 billion, aimed at providing multi-purpose cash support to help residents of Hoa An Commune address food insecurity, income loss, and damages to housing and crops.



Historic flooding triggered by the two typhoons devastated many parts of Cao Bang, causing severe impacts on local communities. The circulation of Typhoon No. 11 brought historic flood levels, with peak water levels exceeding the 1986 record by nearly one metre. The thiên tai caused one death, two injuries, inundated or damaged more than 7,500 houses, and destroyed over 5,000 hectares of rice and crops.

Households received VND 2.4 million per month for families with up to two members, and VND 4 million per month for households with three members or more. This support helps families address immediate difficulties and meet essential needs while awaiting the next harvest.
