Vietnam is preparing for a massive evacuation as Typhoon Kajiki threatens Southeast Asia, with plans to move more than half a million people to safety. The typhoon, carrying winds up to 149 kilometers per hour (93 miles per hour), is rapidly approaching the region.
In response to the storm:
- Vietnam has ordered fishing boats to remain ashore and is organizing evacuations from vulnerable areas.
- China’s city of Sanya has already closed businesses and suspended public transportation to reduce risk.
The National Meteorological Center of China predicts that Typhoon Kajiki may hit the southern coast of Hainan Island or travel along the coastline before impacting Vietnam.
Precautionary Measures Taken
- Vietnam: Evacuation of over 500,000 people from high-risk zones and grounding of fishing vessels.
- China (Sanya): Shutdown of businesses and suspension of public transport services.
Authorities in both countries are closely monitoring the storm’s progress and are urging residents to follow safety guidelines to mitigate the storm’s severe impact.
