Urgent eviction notice issued for five Vietnamese provinces

Heavy Rain and Typhoon Kajiki Pose Threat to China and Vietnam

Typhoon Kajiki is approaching the provinces of Hà Tĩnh and Nghệ An in China, bringing heavy rainfall and posing a significant threat to the region. Meteorological authorities in China have issued warnings for the heavy rainfall, which is expected to hit the provinces on Monday and Tuesday.

The local meteorological and hydrological departments, specifically the provincial meteorological bureaus coordinated under the China Meteorological Administration (CMA), are taking measures to predict the rain from Typhoon Kajiki and respond accordingly. In Vietnam, the National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting handles similar duties, but the exact Chinese provincial agencies for Hà Tĩnh and Nghệ An are not detailed in the available information.

The disaster relief agency in Vietnam has described the situation as "extremely dangerous." Meteorologists in China have linked the recent extreme weather to climate change. Typhoon Kajiki is the fifth tropical storm to occur this year.

In response to the approaching typhoon, evacuations are underway in both China and Vietnam. Over 300,000 residents from five coastal provinces in Vietnam are being evacuated, and emergency shelters are being prepared for the evacuees. Evacuees will be housed in schools and other public buildings designated as emergency shelters.

Both Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet have announced the cancellation of flights due to Typhoon Kajiki. Buses and trains have stopped running in the city of Sanya due to the typhoon, and the city has ordered the closure of shops and tourist attractions.

The estimated economic damage caused by Typhoon Kajiki in Vietnam is $21 million (€17.9 million). The cancellation of flights is a precautionary measure to ensure the safety of passengers and staff.

Over a hundred people have died or gone missing in Vietnam due to natural disasters since January. Typhoon Kajiki could reach the strength of Typhoon Yagi, which struck Vietnam almost a year ago and claimed 300 lives.

Meteorologists predict that Typhoon Kajiki will make landfall on the Vietnamese coast early Monday morning. The landing is expected to be dangerous, prompting evacuations and flight cancellations. It is crucial for residents in the affected areas to follow the instructions of local authorities and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety.
