Typhoon Narra causes mass evacuations and flooding in China and Vietnam

Typhoon Narra flooding landslides evacuations Guangxi

Typhoon Narra has caused widespread destruction and forced mass evacuations across southern China and northern Vietnam. In China's Guangxi region, the storm has affected at least 61,000 people, with 54,000 individuals preemptively evacuated to mitigate risks. Flooding has impacted numerous areas, including Ningming County, where over 16,000 people were relocated as rivers exceeded warning thresholds.

In Vietnam, the storm's circulation has triggered severe heavy rainfall, leading to significant casualties, landslides, and flooding. Reports indicate at least five fatalities and several injuries across various provinces. Extensive damage has been recorded to housing, with thousands of homes flooded or damaged, and significant agricultural losses involving tens of thousands of hectares of crops.

Infrastructure has been heavily impacted, particularly in Lạng Sơn, where over 100 landslide locations were recorded on major highways. In Phú Thọ, hundreds of households were evacuated due to landslide and flood risks. Utility providers like EVNNPC are working to restore power, having already reached over 54% of affected customers in some areas, while Quang Ninh has reported full power restoration. Authorities continue to monitor high river levels and the risk of further landslides in mountainous regions.
