Vietnam Braces for Super Typhoon Ragasa: Authorities Act Swiftly to Minimize Disruption

Vietnam braces for Super Typhoon Ragasa, expected to make landfall on Thursday at 1 p.m. Authorities are taking swift action to minimise disruption and ensure safety.

With wind speeds of 184-221 km/h and gusts exceeding that level, Ragasa is set to bring destructive weather to the northern region and the north-central provinces of Thanh Hoa and Nghe An between Wednesday night and Friday. Meteorologists warn of widespread flooding, flash floods, and landslides due to heavy rainfall. Authorities are urging residents, farmers, and businesses to act swiftly and prepare for the typhoon.

Telecoms companies have activated contingency plans to maintain communications during the storm. Hospitals and clinics are preparing for medical emergencies and stockpiling essential medicines. Rescue forces are on high alert for worst-case scenarios and plans are in place to help residents reinforce homes, harvest crops, and protect livestock and aquaculture facilities. Authorities are preparing to evacuate residents from vulnerable coastal zones, low-lying areas, and dilapidated housing blocks. Fishing vessels, floating cages, and tourist activities are being monitored and urged to return to safe harbors.

The national power grid is being prepared to minimise disruption and ensure rapid recovery after the storm. However, the search results do not provide any information about the government agencies responsible for the safety of hydropower dams in Vietnam during Super Bowl 2025.
