Viet Nam braces for Typhoon TRAMI

The National Center for Hydrometeorological Forecasting forecasts that Trami will move westward, potentially reaching coastal areas from Ha Tinh to Binh Dinh provinces between October 27-29.

It is forecast to intensify over the next 24-48 hours with wind of level 9 and gusts reaching level 11.

Local authorities are tasked to instruct fishing vessels to find shelter or move away from dangerous areas, evacuate residents from floating fishing cages to safe places.

They need to be ready to evacuate citizens from areas with high risks of landslides and inundation, especially in mountainous regions.

Typhoon Trami, the sixth to strike the East Sea this year, is gaining strength after battering the Philippines' Luzon island, leaving 13 dead.

The Philippines' National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) reported on Friday, October 25, that 2,656,446 people, or 569,524 families, have been affected./.
