Typhoon "Nari" caused heavy rain, flooding, and landslides in northern Vietnam, resulting in one death and forcing thousands to evacuate the area.
Reports indicate that nearly 3,000 Vietnamese households have been evacuated from the disaster zones after Typhoon Nari brought heavy rain, flooding, and landslides to northern Vietnam.
Lang Son province was the hardest hit, with over 2,500 homes flooded and more than 200 others damaged or having roofs blown off by strong winds. Agricultural land in Lang Son, Bac Ninh, and Quang Ninh provinces suffered nearly 7,900 hectares of damage.
The heavy rain also triggered landslides and flooding at dozens of locations, cutting off many roads and disrupting travel and relief efforts. The one fatality was a man who died when a landslide swept through his home in Lang Son province.
Meanwhile, river levels in many areas have risen to or surpassed the highest warning thresholds. Authorities are rushing to evacuate residents living along the rivers and advising people to avoid areas prone to flash floods and landslides.
Although Typhoon Nari has moved away from Vietnam’s coast, the flooding situation remains serious. River levels in many northern rivers are still above warning levels, and heavy rain continues, with some northern areas recording over 400 millimeters of rainfall in the past few days.
