Severe Flooding in Central Vietnam from Typhoon Tra Mi

Recently, the tropical depression that weakened from Typhoon Tra Mi has resulted in prolonged heavy rainfall across Central Vietnam, particularly affecting the areas from Ha Tinh to Hue. This natural disaster has led to severe flooding in many regions, notably in Vinh Linh district of Quang Tri province and several other areas experiencing the greatest impact. Authorities have had to evacuate thousands of households in areas at risk of landslides or flooding. Statistics indicate that approximately 15,000 homes have been submerged, with tens of thousands of hectares of crops affected. The heavy rains have also caused traffic congestion on many national routes, forcing vehicles to halt operations, which complicates matters for residents. Forecasts suggest that the weather situation will continue to be complex in the coming days, with increased risks of flash floods and landslides. The repercussions of this storm indicate that the resilience of infrastructure in Central Vietnam needs significant improvement, especially as natural disasters continue to become more erratic.
