In recent years, natural disasters in Viet Nam have been tending to increase in both frequency and intensity, becoming ever more extreme and unpredictable.

The year 2025 has been one of the most extreme years in terms of natural disasters for Viet Nam. As a result, the application of science and technology to develop detailed early warning simulations has become a matter of particular concern in order to enhance disaster forecasting capacity.

Typhoon Matmo, the 11th storm to hit the East Sea, is forecast to be over the waters of Quang Ninh on the night of October 5, with very strong winds of level 12–13 and gusts reaching level 16, said Associate Professor Dr. Mai Van Khiem, Director of the National Centre for Hydro-meteorological Forecasting (NCHMF).
