According to data as of the morning of November 5, flooding from Quang Tri to Quang Ngai has left 50 people dead or missing and caused more than 100 houses to collapse or be swept away.

Nearly 48,000 homes remain submerged. The number of flooded houses remains particularly high in localities forecast to be directly affected when the typhoon makes landfall, including Da Nang with over 16,000 homes and Quang Ngai with more than 12,000. Prolonged exposure to floodwaters leaves houses more vulnerable to strong winds, raising concerns among residents in disaster-prone central regions.

The latest forecasts show that typhoon Kalmaegi is moving quickly and expected to make landfall with high intensity, bringing heavy rainfall to the central region, including areas already severely affected by recent floods. The disaster risk level is classified at level 4.

As of November 5, more than 16,000 households in Hue remain inundated. Local authorities are continuing assessments and stand ready to evacuate residents in high-risk areas, especially coastal zones, landslide-prone areas, low-lying floodplains, and deeply submerged areas, while ensuring temporary shelter, food, and essential supplies for affected communities.

Border Guard forces in Da Nang are calling on and guiding fishing vessels at sea to leave dangerous areas or seek safe shelter. At Ky Ha-Chu Lai, An Hoa, and Tho Quang fishing ports, armed forces are assisting fishermen with mooring arrangements, evacuating crews from boats, fish cages, watch huts and aquaculture zones, and preparing for potential thunderstorms before and during landfall. In southern Quang Nam, authorities are also reinforcing safety measures for tourism operations and aquaculture along coastal areas, estuaries, and river mouths.

Meanwhile, in response to alerts via Zalo, radio, and directives from the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, all fishing vessel owners in Vung Tau Ward have proactively returned to shore or moved away from hazardous waters.

According to Le Hai Van, Deputy Head of the Ward’s Economic, Infrastructure and Urban Affairs Office, the area has 549 offshore fishing vessels, and by the morning of November 5, 100% of vessel owners had been informed of typhoon Kalmaegi’s trajectory and had secured safe shelter.
