Overview
Vietnam is evacuating nearly 600,000 residents from high-risk central areas like Thanh Hoa and Danang in preparation for Typhoon Kajiki's expected landfall.
Typhoon Kajiki, the year's strongest storm with winds up to 166 km/h, rapidly intensified before its anticipated Monday afternoon landfall in central Vietnam.
Vietnamese authorities have implemented extensive emergency measures, including closing airports and schools, and deploying over 120,000 personnel for rescue operations.
The powerful typhoon has already caused significant damage in China's Hainan Island and Guangdong province, prompting 20,000 evacuations before moving towards Vietnam.
Climate change is contributing to Southeast Asia's cyclones, like Kajiki, forming closer to land, intensifying rapidly, and persisting longer, increasing regional risks.
