The powerful Typhoon Kaziki is set to make landfall in Vietnam, prompting widespread preparations and evacuations. With wind speeds of 175 km/h, the storm is expected to bring severe weather conditions. Airports and schools have been shut down nationwide in anticipation of the typhoon’s arrival. Numerous flights have been canceled by Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet. Authorities have ordered the evacuation of 586,000 residents across multiple provinces. Residents of Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue, and Da Nang are seeking refuge. Kaziki’s path lies across the South China Sea. Prior to landfall, the coastal city of Vinh experienced heavy rainfall. A prohibition on sea travel has been enforced across seven coastal provinces. Emergency rescue teams, comprising 21,000 personnel, are on standby to assist affected communities. The destructive impact of last year’s Typhoon Yagi serves as a stark reminder of the potential devastation.
