Vietnam – Cyclone Tembin (ECHO) (ECHO Daily Flash of 26 December 2017)

  • 19 southern provinces from Ba Ria- Vung Tau to Ca Mau are on high alert.

  • The damage level could be high due to the region’s population density, large number of tourists and many economic activities.

  • The majority of population living in the riverside and river mouth areas bring high vulnerabilities to these provinces. Approximately 1 000 000 people were told by the authorities to prepare for evacuation, and 70 000 were moved from low-lying areas.
