The publication of the “Atlas of housing vulnerability & measures for safe housing in Vietnam” comes at a time when the National Strategy for natural disaster prevention, response and mitigation has called for the review and complement of building codes and construction plans in line with natural disaster characteristics in each region of Vietnam. The Atlas contributes to this national objective.
The Atlas goes further in its objectives, linking:
the regional natural disaster characteristics
to
thecharacteristics of local common contemporary housing in each region.
