Vietnam: 500,000 to be evacuated as Typhoon Kajiki nears-Elizabeth Schumacher with AFP, Reuters-6 hours ago-AUG 24,25

Typhoon Kajiki is expected to make landfall soon as it racks up windspeeds of 175 kilometers per hour. Residents of China's Hainan island were also under an evacuation order.

https://p.dw.com/p/4zR66-Authorities in Vietnam were preparing to move more than 500,000 people from four central coastal provinces on Sunday as Typhoon Kajiki was set to make landfall.More than 150,000 households in Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue and Danang were ordered to seek shelter inland. Vietnamese carriers Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet canceled flights due to the anticipated weather conditions.  According to the US Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Kajiki was traveling across the South China Sea with windspeeds of 175 kilometers per hour (109 miles per hour).Heavy rains and flooding are expected.China's resort city of Sanya shuts down as typhoon approaches-The storm is also expected to sweep past China's Hainan island, where 20,000 people were put under an evacuation order.The resort city of Sanya on Hainan closed tourist attractions, schools, stores, office buildings as the typhoon approaches.

Typhoon Kajiki: 500,000 Evacuate Japan – DW News-by James Carter Senior News Editor August 24, 2025

Over half a million people are bracing for impact as Typhoon Kajiki barrels towards Vietnam and China, but the immediate evacuations – over 500,000 in Vietnam alone – are just the most visible symptom of a growing vulnerability. The escalating frequency and intensity of typhoons in the South China Sea aren’t just weather events; they’re a stress test for regional infrastructure and a potential economic shock to tourism-dependent economies.The Immediate Impact: Vietnam and Hainan Island on High Alert-Authorities in Vietnam’s Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue, and Danang provinces ordered the evacuation of over 150,000 households on Sunday, anticipating widespread flooding and damage from Kajiki’s 175 kilometer per hour winds. Both Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet have cancelled flights, disrupting travel plans and highlighting the vulnerability of air transport networks. Similarly, the Chinese resort city of Sanya has effectively shut down, suspending public transportation and closing all tourist attractions, schools, and businesses. Approximately 20,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate Hainan island.Beyond the Headlines: The Rising Cost of Climate-Fueled Storms-While immediate disaster response is critical, focusing solely on evacuation numbers misses the larger picture. The economic fallout from these increasingly powerful storms is substantial. The tourism sector, a vital component of both the Vietnamese and Chinese economies, faces significant disruption. Sanya, for example, relies heavily on tourism revenue, and a shutdown of this magnitude will have ripple effects throughout the local economy. Beyond tourism, damage to infrastructure – roads, bridges, power grids – requires costly repairs and hinders long-term economic growth.The Infrastructure Deficit: A Regional Weakness-Many coastal communities in Southeast Asia lack the robust infrastructure needed to withstand these extreme weather events. Aging drainage systems, inadequate coastal defenses, and poorly planned urban development exacerbate the impact of flooding and storm surges. Investing in resilient infrastructure – including improved flood control measures, reinforced buildings, and early warning systems – is no longer a matter of preparedness, but of economic survival. A recent report by the Asian Development Bank highlights the urgent need for climate-resilient infrastructure in Southeast Asia, estimating trillions of dollars in potential losses if current trends continue.The Role of Early Warning Systems and Data Analytics-Fortunately, advancements in meteorological technology and data analytics are improving our ability to predict and prepare for these storms. The US Joint Typhoon Warning Center’s tracking of Kajiki, for example, provided crucial lead time for evacuations. However, the effectiveness of these systems depends on last-mile communication and community engagement. Ensuring that warnings reach vulnerable populations in a timely and understandable manner is paramount. Furthermore, leveraging data analytics to identify high-risk areas and optimize evacuation routes can significantly reduce casualties and minimize damage. The use of GIS mapping and analysis, as demonstrated in the aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, provides a powerful tool for disaster response and recovery.Looking Ahead: A Future of Increased Risk and Adaptation-The trend is clear: the South China Sea is becoming a breeding ground for more frequent and intense typhoons, driven by rising sea temperatures and changing climate patterns. This isn’t a temporary fluctuation; it’s a long-term shift that requires a fundamental rethinking of coastal development and disaster preparedness strategies. **Typhoon** risk management must move beyond reactive measures – evacuations and emergency relief – to proactive investments in resilient infrastructure, early warning systems, and community-based adaptation programs. Ignoring this reality will only lead to greater economic losses and human suffering. The future of Southeast Asian coastal communities depends on their ability to adapt to this new normal.What steps do you think are most crucial for building resilience to these increasingly frequent and powerful storms?  

 August 24, 2025-Impact Level: WarningLocations Affected: Danang, Quang Tri, Thanh Hoa, Thua Thien Hue, Quang Ninh, Vietnam-Tracking Id: RINTP3591250568

Description:

As per reports, the following are the updates on Typhoon Kajiki in Vietnam as of Monday (25 August)

• At 2200 hours (local time) on Sunday (24 August), the National Center for Hydro‑Meteorological Forecasting (NCHMF) assessed Kajiki (storm No. 5) at level 14 (150–166 km/h), gusting to level 17, about 330 km from Nghe An, about 310 km east‑southeast of Ha Tinh and about 270 km east‑northeast of the northern area of Quang Tri. The system was moving west at 15–20 km/h with potential to strengthen.
• NCHMF forecast that around 1000 hours (local time) on Monday (25 August), the storm would be at level 14, gusting to level 17, active in the southern Gulf of Tonkin, about 140 km from Nghe An and about 110 km east‑southeast of Ha Tinh.
• During this period, the western sea area of the North East Sea, the Gulf of Tonkin, and the southern sea area of Quang Tri–Hue (including Hon Ngu Island and Con Co) were affected, with the coastal sea area from Thanh Hoa to Quang Tri under natural disaster risk level 4
• By 2200 hours (local time) on Monday (25 August), the storm was expected to reduce to level 9–10, gusting to level 14 on the Vietnam–Laos border, and by Tuesday (26 August), to gradually weaken in the Central Laos region.
• The Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV) indicated that four airports would be directly affected by storm No. 5: Tho Xuan (Thanh Hoa), Vinh (Nghe An), Dong Hoi (Quang Binh/old Quang Tri area), and Phu Bai (Hue City).
• Airports including Noi Bai, Cat Bi, Van Don, Da Nang, Chu Lai and Pleiku were advised to proactively update and implement procedures in case of unusual developments. Tho Xuan Airport (Thanh Hoa) was closed from 0400 to 1600 hours (local time) and Dong Hoi Airport (Quang Tri) from 1000 to 2100 hours on Monday (25 August).
• Authorities prepared to move more than 500,000 people from four central coastal provinces on Sunday (24 August) as Typhoon Kajiki was set to make landfall. More than 150,000 households in Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue and Da Nang were ordered to seek shelter inland.

Background:

Kajiki intensified over the East Sea and tracked west‑northwest toward Vietnam’s central/north‑central coast, with forecasts indicating landfall on Monday (25 August) and associated strong winds, high waves and heavy rainfall across Thanh Hoa to Thua Thien–Hue. Pre‑emptive measures included bans on sea travel, reinforcement of dykes/reservoirs and harvesting acceleration in some localities ahead of impact; evacuations and flight cancellations were initiated from Sunday (24 August).

Impact:

• Localised flooding and waterlogging are anticipated in Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Tri, and Hue, likely resulting in traffic congestion and partial road closures along National Highways 1A and 15, as well as key intra-city roads in Vinh, Dong Hoi, and Hue City.
• Tho Xuan (Thanh Hoa), Vinh (Nghe An), Dong Hoi (Quang Tri), and Phu Bai (Hue) airports are closed or under operational suspension, with additional flight diversions anticipated at Da Nang. Delays and cancellations are likely to affect onward connectivity through Hanoi (Noi Bai) and Ho Chi Minh City.
• Power and telecom disruptions are anticipated in Vinh, Dong Hoi, Hue, and Da Nang, due to strong winds and falling trees. Local authorities are likely to enforce cordons around waterlogged intersections and riverbanks in Hue City, Vinh, and Dong Ha.
• Landslides and flash flooding are possible in upland districts of Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, and Quang Tri, potentially cutting off rural access roads and affecting supply routes to industrial and residential areas.

Recommendations:

• It is advised to avoid non‑essential travel across affected provinces during periods of heavy rainfall and strong winds, and to allow additional travel time where travel is unavoidable.
• It is advised to reconfirm flights, monitor airline notifications, and prepare alternates via unaffected airports once conditions improve.
• It is advised to monitor advisories from NCHMF(https://www.nchmf.gov.vn/kttv/), CAAV(https://english.caa.gov.vn/) and local authorities, keep devices charged, carry power banks, and maintain alternate communication channels.

UPDATE ON TYPHOON KAJIKI IN VIETNAM.AUG 25,25

Mass evacuations as Typhoon Kajiki batters Vietnam's coast-Typhoon causes flooding and power outages as 600,000 expected to be evacuated-Thomson Reuters · Posted: Aug 25, 2025 7:19 PM EDT | 

Typhoon Kajiki brought torrential rains to Vietnam's north-central coast on Monday, felling trees, flooding homes and triggering mass evacuations from coastal areas.Kajiki was on the coast of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces in the afternoon, with wind speed easing to 118-133 km/h from as strong as 166 km/h, according to the country's weather agency."It's terrifying," said Dang Xuan Phuong, a 48-year-old resident of Cua Lo, a tourism town in Nghe An province directly  hit by the storm."When I look down from the higher floors, I could see waves as tall as two metres, and the water has flooded the roads  around us," Phuong told Reuters.State media reports said power in several areas in Ha Tinh province had been cut off, roofs were blown out and floating fishing farms were washed away.Vietnam had earlier shut airports, closed schools and begun mass evacuations as it prepared for the most powerful storm so far this year.Vietnamese state media reported plans to evacuate nearly 600,000 people in the provinces of Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue and Da Nang, where more than 152,000 homes are in high-risk areas.More than 16,500 soldiers and 107,000 paramilitary personnel had been mobilized to help with the evacuation and stand by for search  and rescue.Two airports in Thanh Hoa and Quang Binh provinces were closed, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam.  Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet Air cancelled dozens of flights to and from the area on Sunday and Monday.The typhoon started as a weak tropical depression on Friday but grew into a powerful storm in less than two days, matching last year's Typhoon Yagi as one of the region's fastest growing, according to state media.Last year, Typhoon Yagi killed about 300 people and caused about $4.6 billion Cdn in damage.With a long coastline facing the South China Sea, Vietnam is prone to storms that are often deadly and trigger dangerous flooding and mudslides.The weather agency said rainfall could reach 500 millimetres beginning Monday afternoon until the end of Tuesday in several parts of northern Vietnam.Kajiki has already caused devastation in China, with strong winds and heavy rain whipping Hainan Island and nearby parts of Guangdong province on Sunday. About 20,000 people were evacuated from high-risk areas, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported.One man in Vietnam's Nghe An province died on Friday after being electrocuted while trying to secure his roof ahead of the storm, state media reported.The storm is expected to move inland into Laos and northern Thailand.Scientists published a study last year warning that seas warmed by climate change will result in Southeast Asia's cyclones forming closer to land, strengthening faster and lasting longer, raising risks for cities."It's frightening to see our projections from just last year already materializing," said Benjamin Horton, dean of the School of Energy and Environment and a professor of earth science at City University of Hong Kong.He said the speed at which these changes were unfolding was a "clear signal" that the climate crisis is moving faster than expected. "We are no longer predicting the future — we are living it," he said.With files from The Associated Press

Terrifying’ Typhoon Kajiki batters Vietnam, blowing roofs off homes, causing widespread floods-The country’s weather agency said rainfall could reach 500 millimetres until the end of Tuesday in several parts of northern Vietnam-ReutersandAgence France-Presse-Published: 7:29pm, 25 Aug 2025

Typhoon Kajiki brought torrential rains to Vietnam’s north central coast on Monday, felling trees and flooding homes, despite wind speeds tapering off from earlier in the day.Typhoon Kajiki’s wind speeds eased from 166km/h (103 mph) to 118-133km/h (73-83mph) as the storm hit the coast of Nghe An and Ha Tinh provinces, according to the country’s weather agency.State media reports said power in several areas in Ha Tinh province had been cut off, roofs were blown off and floating fishing farms were washed away.Vietnam had earlier shut airports, closed schools, and begun mass evacuations as it prepared for the most powerful storm so far this year.The government warned earlier of “an extremely dangerous fast-moving storm,” adding that Kajiki would bring heavy rains, flooding and landslides.With a long coastline facing the South China Sea, Vietnam is prone to storms that are often deadly and trigger dangerous flooding and mudslides.The weather agency said rainfall could reach 500mm (1.6 feet) from Monday afternoon until the end of Tuesday in several parts of northern Vietnam.The Vietnamese government said earlier on Monday that about 30,000 people had been evacuated from coastal areas. More than 16,500 soldiers and 107,000 paramilitary personnel had been mobilised to help with the evacuation and stand by for search and rescue.Two airports in Thanh Hoa and Quang Binh provinces were closed, according to the country’s aviation authority. Vietnam Airlines and VietJet cancelled dozens of flights to and from the area on Sunday and Monday.Waterfront Vinh City was deluged overnight, its streets largely deserted, with most shops and restaurants closed as residents and business owners sandbagged their property entrances.“I have never heard of a typhoon of this big scale coming to our city,” said 66-year-old Le Manh Tung at a Vinh indoor sports stadium, where evacuated families dined on a simple breakfast of sticky rice.“I am a bit scared, but then we have to accept it because it’s nature – we cannot do anything,” he said.“Rain will continue today and tomorrow, and with that huge rainfall, risks for flooding and flash floods on rivers are very high,” said Mai Van Khiem, the director of Vietnam’s National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.Scientists say human-caused climate change is driving more intense and unpredictable weather patterns that can make destructive floods and storms more likely, particularly in the tropics.“Normally we get storms and flooding, but never this big,” said 52-year-old evacuee Nguyen Thi Nhan.The typhoon’s power is set to dramatically dissipate after it makes landfall.The Joint Typhoon Warning Centre said conditions suggested “an approaching weakening trend as the system approaches the continental shelf of the Gulf of Tonkin where there is less ocean heat content”.China’s tropical resort island of Hainan evacuated around 20,000 residents on Sunday as the typhoon passed its south.The island’s main city, Sanya, closed scenic areas and halted business operations.In Vietnam, more than 100 people have been killed or left missing from natural disasters in the first seven months of 2025, according to the agriculture ministry.Economic losses have been estimated at more than US$21 million.Vietnam suffered US$3.3 billion in economic losses last September as a result of Typhoon Yagi, which swept across the country’s north and caused hundreds of fatalities.

Typhoon Slams Central Vietnam as Fear of Flooding Intensifies-By Tung Ngo and Damien Cave-Tung reported from Hanoi, Damien from Ho Chi Minh City-Aug. 25, 2025, 5:59 a.m. ET

Heavy rains and strong winds lashed Vietnam’s central coast Monday, uprooting trees, destroying homes, shuttering airports and spurring last-minute evacuations, as one of the most powerful typhoons in decades to hit the nation made landfall north of Da Nang.Typhoon Kajiki arrived with gusts of more than 120 miles per hour and was expected to be a slow-moving, damaging storm that would weaken as it crossed land and headed for Laos. Even after downpours began, police were going door to door in many areas, pushing residents to shelters after the government issued evacuation orders for more than 325,000 people.Tracking Typhoon Kajiki-Flights across the region — a mix of fishing villages, agricultural and industrial areas, and tourist spots — were canceled. Schools were closed. And at least one person was killed in the race to harden local defenses: A man in Nghe An Province was electrocuted while trying to reinforce the roof of his home, according to state media.“Our top priority at the moment is to evacuate all people in vulnerable areas to safe grounds,” said Hoang Quoc Viet, the director of agriculture and environment in Nghe An Province.“This is a strong typhoon,” he added, “and there are lots of risks.”Authorities have issued a level-4 natural disaster warning, one notch below the country’s most severe rating, for a roughly 250-mile stretch from Thanh Hoa to Quang Tri in central Vietnam. Home to several million residents, the area also includes the country’s largest oil refinery, one of Southeast Asia’s biggest steel complexes, power plants and a deep-sea port.The region also contains many reservoirs, raising the risk of downstream flooding as the typhoon brings heavy downpours. Ahead of the storm, officials began releasing water from some of the reservoirs to increase their holding capacity, but it was not clear whether that would be enough to protect villages in low-lying areas.Along the coast, too, water caused the most anxiety. Footage on state media showed soldiers and local residents piling sandbags along beaches as the typhoon approached.“The greatest risk is that seawater could breach sea dikes, causing widespread flooding,” said Nguyen Hoang Hiep, the deputy minister of agriculture and environment, at a response meeting on Monday. He noted that the sea-dike system in the storm’s projected path was built for much weaker cyclones.In Ha Tinh Province, where the typhoon is expected to hit with full force, Tran Thi Ha, 40, huddled at home with family including her 3-year-old child, about a kilometer from the beach.“I am scared. I am very scared. The house next to mine just had its tin roof blown off minutes ago, and that family had to move in with neighbors,” she said by phone. “My house has a tile roof, I don’t know if it can withstand the typhoon.”On Sunday night, she stocked up at a wet market — two kilograms of dried fish, several winter melons, cabbage and instant noodles — to prepare her family for the storm.“I’ll just stay indoors and pray,” she said, as a child’s voice could be heard in the background asking for milk.All around her, and across other provinces, the government has mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers to assist with evacuations and emergency relief.In Ha Tinh, Thien Cam kindergarten opened its classrooms on Monday to 20 local residents, mostly children and the elderly. Heavy rains were already drenching the area, causing damage in the first few hours of the storm. The school had also served as a shelter the night before.“We opened our school on Sunday night for local people seeking refuge,” said the principal, Dang Thi Thien. “We have eight classrooms built for 200 children. Now the floors have turned into living rooms with straw mats.”Tung Ngo is a Times reporter and researcher based in Hanoi, Vietnam.Damien Cave leads The Times’s new bureau in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, covering shifts in power across Asia and the wider world.

All typhoon signals in Hong Kong to be cancelled at 12.10pm as cyclone Kajiki departs-Weather forecaster says No 1 typhoon warning will be replaced by strong monsoon signal as Kajiki moves across waters south of Hainan Island-Published: 11:30am, 24 Aug 2025

All typhoon signals will be cancelled at 12.10pm on Sunday as Tropical Cyclone Kajiki moves further away from Hong Kong, according to the city’s weather forecaster.The Observatory said the No 1 typhoon signal would be replaced by the strong monsoon signal at noon, as Kajiki moved across the waters south of Hainan Island.It said the city could expect a few squally showers and thunderstorms throughout the day under the combined effect of a ridge of high pressure over southeastern China and Kajiki, which is the Japanese word for swordfish.“Winds will occasionally be strong offshore and on high ground. There will be swells. Members of the public are advised to stay away from the shoreline and not to engage in water sports,” it warned.Showers would ease off gradually over the coast of Guangdong province in the next couple of days, the Observatory said.Temperatures in the coming week are forecast to range between 26 and 32 degrees Celsius (79 to 90 Fahrenheit).

Typhoon Kajiki made landfall in Vietnam on Monday afternoon, battering the country's coastal provinces with winds of up to 118-133 km/h.Vietnamese authorities have said it could be as powerful as Typhoon Yagi - its most powerful storm in 30 years - which killed 300 people when it hit last year.While the storm has decreased in intensity, the wind speeds remain high, the country's weather forecasting service said.Close to 600,000 people were ordered to leave their homes in the coastal province of Ha Tinh. Central provinces of Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue and Da Nang were also ordered to evacuate.Flights have also been suspended at two airports in its central region along with some train services. Meanwhile road travel has been suspended in Ha Tinh, a northern coastal province.Vietnam isn't the only country facing off Typhoon Kajiki, which earlier skirted past China's Hainan island and brought heavy rain and strong winds to southern China.Authorities in Thailand have also sent weather warnings to 58 provinces as the typhoon approaches the country. There have been warnings of flash floods, runoffs and landslides could hit the country.We are pausing our live coverage here for now but we'll be sure to keep our news story up to date with any developments.
