Local authorities in northern Vietnam have urged residents along the coast to evacuate as Typhoon Wipha, the sixth storm this year, is set to make landfall in Ninh Binh Province on Tuesday, as forecast by the Vietnamese meteorological department.
Currently, provinces including Ninh Binh, Quang Ninh, and Hung Yen have taken preventive measures against Typhoon Wipha, evacuating residents from high-risk areas and halting vessel operations.
"Following the instructions from local authorities, we have suspended guest services from 9:00 until the typhoon passes. The typhoon is expected to make landfall tomorrow," said Nguyen Viet Dung, a hotel manager.
"Since we don't know how strong this typhoon will be, everyone wants to go home to avoid it and protect their own property," said Trinh The Manh, a tourist from Hanoi.
