Accordingly, Vietnam Railways Corporation organizes the free transportation of relief goods through the focal unit, the Central Committee of the Vietnam Red Cross Society or the Red Cross Societies of provinces and cities. Relief goods must clearly state the information: Content of relief goods, departure-destination stations, sender-receiver, weight of goods, etc.

Vietnam Railways Corporation requests its affiliated units to notify customers who need to transport relief goods to contact the Central Red Cross Society or the Red Cross Societies of provinces and cities.

When receiving relief goods, stations need to make a confirmation record to ensure that freight exemption and reduction services are used for the right purpose.

To facilitate the plan for gathering relief goods, after making a transportation plan suitable for the weight or volume of relief goods, the stations notify the owner about the train schedule and the station for loading and unloading goods...

Recently, Vietnam Post Corporation also announced free postage for parcels and letters sending money to help flood victims from now until November 31, 2013.
