Vietnam’s disaster management agency has requested that provinces and cities in northern and north-central Vietnam prepare for Tropical Storm Bebinca, which has just formed from a tropical depression.
The projected path
of Tropical Storm Bebinca
According to the national meteorological agency, the storm is
located 20.6 degrees north latitude and 113.2 degrees east longitude on the
water south of China’s Guangdong province, as of 13h00 on August 13.
The sustained wind speeds near the eye
of Bebinca have reached 60-75 kilometres per hour, with gusts of up to 100
kilometres per hour.
Bebinca is forecast to approach
Vietnamese waters off the coast of provinces from Quang Ninh to Nam Dinh on
August 16, making it the fourth storm to hit Vietnam this year.
The storm is expected to bring heavy
rains to Vietnam’s northern region, which has been reeling from flash floods
and landslides in the past two months.
As many reservoirs are now almost full
and dams are threatened by rising water levels, the Central Steering Committee
for Disaster Prevention has called for measures to ensure the safety of these
structures and evacuate people in disaster-prone areas if necessary.
Frequent communication with vessels
operating in the areas is also requested to ensure prompt action is taken in
the case of emergencies, as well as ensuring the safety of people and
properties, especially tourists on the sea and islands.
The steering committee also called for a close
watch of the storm and rains in order to prevent flooding in urban and
agricultural zones, especially in the capital Hanoi.
