The Disaster Risk Reduction Partnership Office held a ceremony at the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment in the morning of October 28 to acknowledge the international community’s support for Vietnamese people affected by Typhoons Bualoi and Matmo.

The Viet Nam Disaster and Dyke Management Authority under the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment on October 25 received emergency relief from Singapore to support people affected by recent storms and floods in the northern mountainous province of Tuyen Quang.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has decided to allocate 140 billion VND (around 5.6 million USD) from the 2025 central budget contingency fund to help four northern provinces recover from recent floods.

Typhoon Matmo, the 11th storm to affect the East Sea/ South China Sea this year, weakened significantly after making landfall in China’s Guangxi province on early October 6, according to the National Centre for Hydro-Meteorological Forecasting.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has ordered urgent measures to overcome the consequences of heavy rains, flash floods, and landslides triggered by Typhoon Bualoi – the 10th storm to hit the East Sea/South China Sea this year – which has caused severe human and material losses across northern and central provinces.

Typhoon No. 10, internationally named Bualoi, is forecast to unleash a combination of strong winds, torrential rains, flooding, and landslides, prompting the Ministry of Agriculture and Environment (MAE) to call for evacuation plans for residents in high-risk areas.
