We all know that natural disasters happen all over the world, and they can completely destroy human lives as well as our environment. There are many different natural causes of natural disasters, and being aware of them helps us to be better prepared when they do.
In Vietnam, there have been many times of natural disasters and floods. In particular, the most recent is the Flood in Central 2020. In recent years, Vietnam has never suffered such intense natural disasters. Only from mid-September to mid-November 2020, storms and floods occurred consecutively in the central region with very strong intensity, on a large scale, causing great damage to people and property. Vietnam is located next to the East Sea with a long coastline, and suffers from floods every year. If calculating separately from Thanh Hoa to Binh Thuan, the central coast is 1,200km long, the rainy season in the Central region usually lasts from July to November. Each year, on average, there are about 5-8 storms, however in 2020 , this number nearly doubles. One of the things people say the most is that the intensity of storms coming from the East Sea into the Central is more and more intense. It causes huge, heavy rainfall from 150mm to 200mm in a day. Heavy rainfall causes areas to flood quickly, and most mountain reservoirs quickly fill up and require emergency discharge. In addition, the development of dense small hydroelectricity in the central mountainous regions. This amount of hydroelectricity has participated in deforestation to make reservoirs.
Floods destroy land, paddy fields, houses, and damage facilities in the middle region. People lost their homes and even their lives due to floods. Although Vietnam always supports localities, it takes time and as soon as life is restored, floods will happen again. To prevent this, the government is looking for a new, modern solution and put in place preventive measures with warnings as soon as possible.
