Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm in 30 years, made landfall in northern Vietnam on September 7, wreaking havoc on millions of families in both coastal and mountainous regions.
As of September 14, the death toll and number of missing from the typhoon, as well as subsequent flash floods and landslides, reached 348 people, with 281 confirmed dead and 67 still missing.
In response to the severe aftermath of these natural disasters, the Party and State of Vietnam have been swiftly implementing measures to address the damage and reduce the impact on affected communities.
