Hanoi: Vietnam on Monday wrapped for a typhoon wip as the coastal provinces were placed on an emergency alert and the airlines canceled flights before the expected landfall of the storm early Tuesday. Typhoon is predictable to bring powerful winds and heavy rainfall, which increases the risk of flash floods and landslides in the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam and floods in urban centers including Hanoi. Vietnam’s Prime Minister Fam Minh Chinah said in the instructions of government agencies, “This is a very strong storm, which is moving rapidly, has a wide and dangerous effect on both land and sea.” He ordered all fishing boats, cargo ships and tourist ships to return to the shore and urged people to withdraw in high -risk areas. The storm has already proved fatal in the Philippines, where it intensified the monsoon rains and killed at least three people over the weekend, drowned and two others fell on trees. Philippine officials were investigating the reports of three more deaths, while seven people, including two children, were missing. Officials said floods, landslides and debris affect more than 800,000 people, forced to vacate around 90,000. Hundreds of cruise ships have anchored at Ha Long Bay in Vietnam after suspending all tourist boat services due to the storm. A tourist boat killed at least 37 people, beyond the arrival of typhoon, located there during a storm in the weekend. Bad weather is expected to complicate the discovery of disappearance. The national carrier Vietnam Airlines and its affiliated Pacific Airlines on Monday canceled at least nine domestic flights, expected to delay more. Budget Airline Vietjet canceled 12 flights including international routes in South Korea. Local authorities have deployed rescue teams and stocked food and medical supply while working to secure telecom infrastructure. The state media may have a threat to floods and high winds to about 150,000 hectares (370,658 acres) aquaculture forms and more than 20,000 temporary fish cages. Emergency warnings have been sent to millions of residents by text message. The forecasts hopes to make landfalls between High Fong and Than Hoa provinces in the early hours of Tuesday, with air gusts reach 166 km (103 mph) per hour. Vietnam is not a stranger for tropical storms. But climate experts stated that such storms were getting stronger due to global warming because hot sea water provides more energy to fuel the storms. This increases the wind speed and heavy rainfall. Last year, Typhoon Yagi killed around 300 people and lost $ 3.3 billion, decreasing GDP growth by 0.15 percent.
