DEVELOPING TROPICAL CYCLONE RISK WARNING SYSTEM FOR NORTH CENTRAL VIET NAM

Tóm tắt

Viet Nam is one of the most impacted countries by climate natural disasters especially tropical cyclone and tropical depression. Under climate change context, the natural disasters in prone areas have becoming more extreme. With the supporting of advance technology, warning systems are considered as effective measures to prevent and mitigate damages of natural disasters, in particular, tropical cyclone and tropical depression. Locating in the middle of Viet Nam and Gulf of Tonkin, the North Central region is directly affected by one to two tropical cyclones every year, one of the most tropical cyclone - impacted regions in Viet Nam. Developing an effective tropical cyclone risk warning system would be helpful to protect local people in tropical cyclone seasons. This paper proposes a methodology to assess tropical cyclone risk and introduce a practical risk warning system to apply to local hydrometeorological stations.
