Clause 1, Article 6 of Decree 67/2007 / ND-CP on policies to help social protection beneficiaries stipulates:

1. Subjects receiving unexpected (one-time) assistance are people or households facing difficulties as a result of a natural disaster or other force majeure reasons, including:

a) Households with dead or missing persons;

b) Household has seriously injured person;

c) Households whose houses are collapsed, collapsed, drifted, burnt or badly damaged;

f) People go hungry due to lack of food;

g) People who face risks outside their residential areas leading to serious injuries, and their families do not know to take care of them;

h) Wanderers begging while gathering, waiting to be brought back to their residence.

Article 12 of Decree 67/2007 / ND-CP provides the lowest level of ad hoc relief for the subjects specified in Article 6 of this Decree as follows:

1. For households: Someone is dead or missing: VND 3,000,000 / person; Someone is seriously injured: VND 1,000,000 / person; Some houses collapsed, collapsed, drifted, burned or badly damaged: VND 5,000,000 / household; Household having to relocate urgently due to the danger of landslide, flash flood: VND 5,000,000 / household.
