According to Vietnam Plus, deputy prime minister Tran Hong Ha called on local authorities to stay alert and directed police to keep residents indoors from 11am to 6pm on 25 August, while chairing an emergency meeting to coordinate response measures for Typhoon Kajiki.

Typhoon Kajiki has made landfall after Vietnam ordered more than half a million people to evacuate their homes in anticipation of widespread destruction.

Vietnam's central belt was lashed by Typhoon Kajiki on Monday, with at least one person killed by deluges and gales howling more than 130 kilometers per hour, as tens of thousands of residents were evacuated from the path of the tempest.
