On October 27 morning, the Da Nang municipal People’s Committee established a frontline command for coping with Typhoon Trami and its accompanying downpour.

Authorities have moved more than 6,200 people from makeshift houses and areas prone to landslides, flash floods, and sea level rise to safer places. The city’s Military Command deployed four armored vehicles to perform duties when necessary.

Nearly 19,000 residents in dangerous places were also evacuated in Quang Nam on October 27. Many working groups have been sent to coastal localities to direct typhoon response and minimize human and property losses.

Meanwhile, competent agencies in Quang Binh province have sealed off National Highways 9B, 9C, and 15, along with Provincial Road 558B.

Some localities and roads in Quang Tri province have also been severely inundated, forcing the administration to block those areas. Many communes in Vinh Linh district are flooded, as rivers there are in full spate, disrupting the power supply for nearly 18,000 clients. Besides, a coastal embankment in Gio Linh district was eroded.

In the face of heavy rains, Quang Tri plans to evacuate about 35,160 residents to avoid flooding, over 9,680 to avoid flash floods, and 5,920 in anticipation of landslides. The provincial administration also demanded localities and agencies to ready essential goods, especially in vulnerable areas, to cope with prolonged downpours and flooding.

As Typhoon Trami weakens, Da Nang, Phu Bai, Chu Lai, and Dong Hoi airports reopen, restoring central Vietnam’s air connectivity. Specifically, Da Nang International Airport and Phu Bai International Airport resumed operations at 4:00 PM on October 27, Chu Lai Airport at 1:00 PM, and Dong Hoi Airport at 5:00 PM.

To continue responding to the aftermath of the typhoon and heavy rains, the Department of Dyke Management and Natural Disaster Prevention and Control has urged relevant localities to strictly adhere to Government Directive No. 110/CĐ-TTg, issued on October 24 and Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development’s Directive No. 7966/CĐ-BNN-ĐĐ issued on October 22, as well as guidance from Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha during the emergency meeting on Typhoon Trami held on Sunday.

The localities were tasked with addressing the aftermath, cleaning up the environment, and restoring normalcy while maintaining 24-hour monitoring and reporting to the ministry and the department.
