Drought / dry spell
Heat wave
Storm-induced flood
People in Viet Nam are exposed to many different hazards, including drought, earthquakes, floods, landslides and typhoons. The most damaging of these are floods, which often lead to the loss of life and damage to homes. Floods also destroy agricultural land, which in turn increases people’s food insecurity. Heat waves are also a growing threat, driven by rising global temperatures and urbanization in the country.
Anticipatory action has been implemented in Viet Nam for many years, with several frameworks having been developed for different hazards.
