Key Concepts

• Bão số 15 (Typhoon No. 15): A tropical cyclone that has weakened but continues to cause adverse weather conditions at sea.
• Áp thấp nhiệt đới (Tropical Depression): A weaker form of a tropical cyclone.
• Sạt lở (Landslides): Ground failure caused by heavy rainfall, leading to significant damage and displacement.
• Tái định cư (Resettlement): The process of relocating affected populations to safer areas.
• Bệnh truyền nhiễm (Infectious Diseases): Diseases that can spread from person to person or from animals to people, often exacerbated by natural disasters.
• Thiên tai (Natural Disaster): A natural event such as a flood, earthquake, or hurricane that causes great damage or loss of life.
• Quốc lộ (National Highway): Major roads connecting different parts of a country.
• Tali dương/Tali âm (Positive/Negative Slopes): Refers to the embankment and cutting slopes of roads, respectively.
• Khắc phục (Remediation/Repair): The process of fixing damage caused by natural disasters.

Weather Updates and Impacts

Bão số 15 (Typhoon No. 15) has weakened to Tropical Storm strength (cấp 9), with maximum sustained winds of approximately 75-88 km/h. The storm is moving slowly, prolonging its impact and causing rough seas. Over the next 24 hours, significant changes are not expected. From tomorrow afternoon, the typhoon will shift westward, then southwestward, and continue to weaken. By 4 PM on December 2nd, its intensity will decrease to Tropical Storm strength (cấp 8). By December 3rd, it is forecast to weaken into a Tropical Depression as it enters the waters of the South Central Coast.

Impact on Sea Conditions: The western part of the East Sea is experiencing strong winds of level 7, with winds near the storm's center reaching level 8-9, gusting up to level 11, resulting in very rough seas.

Tropical Depression in the South China Sea: This system has weakened into a low-pressure area as of this afternoon. Within the next 12 hours, it is expected to further weaken and dissipate, posing no further threat of strong winds at sea. This is the final update on this tropical depression.

Aviation Sector Response

From midday yesterday to this morning, 68 flights operated by Vietnamese airlines have had their routes adjusted to avoid dangerous weather conditions caused by Typhoon No. 15. This measure was taken to ensure passenger safety. The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam has mandated that all units operate 24/7 and implement the typhoon and tropical depression response procedures for civil aviation operations.

Landslide and Disaster Response in Dak Lak

Following heavy rainfall, a severe landslide in Vinh Xuan Hamlet, Tuy An Tay Commune has forced 35 households to evacuate to safety. The People's Committee of Tuy An Tay Commune has requested provincial support for the construction of a resettlement area in Vinh Xuan Hamlet to provide stable housing for families whose homes were destroyed, cracked, or are at risk of further landslides.

The Dak Lak Department of Health has treated nearly 68,000 flooded wells with chemicals and disposed of animal carcasses to prevent the outbreak of infectious diseases. They have also distributed medicine kits and chemicals and provided guidance to residents on cleaning their homes, the environment, and disinfecting water sources.

Emergency Declaration and Road Damage in Lam Dong

Lam Dong Province has declared a natural disaster emergency on National Highway 27C. Prolonged heavy rainfall has caused severe landslides, damaging traffic safety systems and severing road sections. This highway is a vital link connecting Nha Trang and Da Lat and has experienced continuous landslides since mid-November.

Previously, on November 16th, a rockfall on the Khanh Le Pass resulted in six fatalities and 19 injuries. The road remains closed.

Road Repair and Remediation in Thanh Hoa

Thanh Hoa Province plans to address over 4,500 landslide and embankment damage points, as well as damaged culverts and road surfaces on its national and provincial highways. Specifically, projects undertaken under emergency orders are required to be completed within 3 months. Units are working to accelerate progress and finish repairs before the Lunar New Year holiday.

National Highway 47, spanning 138 km in Thanh Hoa, has experienced nearly 600 landslide points on both positive and negative slopes during recent typhoons. Many negative slope points have lost their foundation and are at risk of further collapse, posing a danger to traffic.

A resident expressed concern about the landslides, stating, "When I pass by, I see the landslides and I feel scared for the people who travel back and forth. I see they are struggling with so many landslide points, and it's very dangerous. I hope the officials at all levels will speed up the progress so we can travel safely."

In 2025, the impact of typhoons has caused nearly 4,500 landslide points across various national highways (including National Highway 15, 15C, 16, 2017, and 47) in Thanh Hoa Province, with a total damaged length of nearly 2,700 meters.

The Thanh Hoa Department of Construction is instructing units to increase manpower, add more construction teams, and work overtime. During construction, absolute safety for workers and traffic must be ensured.

Due to the complex geological nature and weather dependency of some landslide points, units are working to implement solutions and designs for negative slope remediation. These units are mobilizing machinery and aiming to resolve all negative slope issues by Q1 2026 to ensure safe and convenient travel for residents.

Currently, Thanh Hoa provincial authorities are taking advantage of favorable weather conditions, mobilizing machinery, materials, and personnel to focus on repairing complex damaged sections. The goal is to restore transportation infrastructure promptly and ensure continuous and safe traffic flow along the routes.
