Vietnam is one of the most hazard-prone countries in the Asia-Pacific Region. With an extensive coastline of 3,260 kilometres, the country is regularly exposed to natural disasters including severe storms, cyclones, typhoons, floods, landslides, and coastal erosion. The risk of flooding and storm is a pressing concern for nearly 70% of the population living in coastal areas and low-lying deltas in Vietnam. This alarming statistic highlights the urgent need for effective measures to mitigate the potential damages caused by floods and storms.
