14:35, 2014/12/09
​Provinces and cities from central to southern Vietnam are taking action to brace for typhoon Hagupit, having already caused significant damage in the Philippines and forecast to enter the East Sea in the morning of December 9.
Central Da Nang city and Quang Ngai and Binh Dinh provinces are closely tracking the typhoon’s movement, counting their fishing vessels operating at sea, and regularly informing them of the situation.
 
 
 
Local authorities also sent teams to examine and ensure the operational safety of reservoirs, and devise plans to evacuate vulnerable communities. Meanwhile, local border guards are assisting residents to securely anchor boats and reinforce houses.
By late December 8, Quang Ngai had 790 vessels with 6,400 fishermen working at sea while 20 boats with 72 people from Binh Dinh were in the waters in the path of Hagupit. Meanwhile, Da Nang had 15 boats with 90 workers at sea.
The same day, the People’s Committee of southern Ho Chi Minh City also ordered local authorities and relevant agencies to gear up for Hagupit.
Officials in vulnerable areas, especially Can Gio coastal district, were told to stand by to evacuate islanders and coastal and riverside residents living in makeshift houses.
On December 8, the Philippine Red Cross confirmed 21 deaths due to typhoon Hagupit in the country.
