Over the past month, Viet Nam has faced a series of extreme weather events, including widespread flooding in the North and Central regions and severe landslides in the Central Highlands. The damage to lives, property, and production has been significant, deeply affecting livelihoods and economic activity.
Most notably, in the past week, Typhoon Kalmaegi (Storm No. 13) brought prolonged heavy rainfall, strong winds, and heightened landslide risks across many provinces – especially in Central Viet Nam and the Central Highlands. The growing toll on people and infrastructure has posed major challenges for emergency response efforts.
Thanks to decisive leadership from the Government and close coordination across all levels of authority, response and recovery efforts have been swiftly and comprehensively deployed. These actions have helped minimize losses and rapidly stabilize business and production activities.

Proactive Government – Confident Enterprises
- Upon early forecasts of Typhoon Kalmaegi’s complex developments, the National Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention issued Directive No. 25/CĐ-BCĐ, urging provinces from North Central to the Central Highlands to activate emergency response plans to protect people and economic infrastructure.
- Emergency forces were fully mobilized to evacuate residents, safeguard assets, and inspect reservoirs, power grids, transportation, and telecommunications – especially in industrial zones and key logistics hubs.
- International transport systems, seaports, and airports remained operational, ensuring uninterrupted supply chains – critical for FDI enterprises.
- Recovery efforts were launched nationwide: electricity, transportation, and communications in key areas – particularly industrial parks and logistics centers – were quickly restored to ensure safe operations.
