In the Gulf of Tonkin, off the coast of the central and southern regions, the waters are forecast to have strong winds with sea waves of up to 3-5m, while the high tide is predicted to hit the central and southern localities in the next 10 days.

In recent days, strong winds, high waves, and high tides have caused coastal erosion in the south-central provinces Binh Thuan and Phu Yen along with some other localities.

The Central Steering Committee for Natural Disaster Prevention and Control, and the National Committee for Natural Disaster Response, and Search and Rescue has asked steering committees for natural disaster response, search and rescue of northern and central localities and coastal provinces and ministries and sectors to prepare response measures, Vietnamnews said.
