Typhoon Kajiki is expected to make landfall in Vietnam soon, with wind speeds reaching 175 kilometers per hour, prompting the evacuation of 500,000 residents. The government has urged people living in coastal areas to leave their homes and seek shelter in safer locations to avoid the worst of the storm. The evacuation order includes several major cities in the central and southern regions of Vietnam. Officials say they are preparing emergency shelters and coordinating with local authorities to ensure the safety of all residents.
In addition to the evacuation orders in Vietnam, residents of Hainan Island in China have also been told to leave their homes ahead of the storm’s arrival. The island is known to be vulnerable to typhoons, and officials in Hainan say they are working with neighboring countries to monitor the storm’s path and provide early warnings to residents. Authorities in both countries have warned that the storm could cause severe damage, including flooding, landslides, and power outages, and urged people to take precautions and stay informed about the latest developments.
As the typhoon approaches, emergency services are preparing to respond to any incidents or injuries that may occur. The Vietnamese government has also asked for donations and assistance from international organizations to support affected communities. Local media reports say that the storm could have a significant impact on the region’s infrastructure, including transportation networks and power grids, but officials are working to minimize the disruption and provide support to affected areas.
