Vietnam faces severe flooding and landslides from Typhoon No. 4

typhoon no 4 flooding landslides infrastructure damage emergency evacuation

Heavy rainfall and the influence of Typhoon No. 4 have caused widespread flooding, landslides, and infrastructure damage across northern and north-central Vietnam. In Lạng Sơn, landslides have affected over 1,000 locations, causing two deaths and impacting more than 3,360 households. Authorities have been forced to evacuate residents from high-risk areas to ensure safety.

Thanh Hóa province has also faced significant challenges, with the Buoi River overflowing and flooding residential areas in Kim Tan commune. Local authorities have issued second-level alarms for river levels and conducted mass evacuations in mountainous districts like Trung Ha to mitigate landslide risks.

Transportation networks have been severely disrupted. Major expressways, such as the Phap Van - Cau Gie, have experienced flooding, while several national and provincial roads are blocked by landslides or deep water. Meteorological reports indicate that while some areas may see a temporary decrease in rain, the risk of flash floods and landslides remains high due to saturated soil conditions.
