In the second half of 2025, multiple tropical storms and typhoons battered the northern and north-central provinces of Viet Nam, resulting in widespread and prolonged oods, ash oods and landslides that impacted over 20 provinces, with extensive damage to infrastructure, housing, and livelihoods. While the initial storms in July/ August impacted an estimated 100, 000 people mainly in Nghệ An, Điện Biên, and Sơn La provinces, further storms and subsequent oods raised the number of people aected to approximately 800, 000 by October in additional provinces including Lào Cai, Sơn La, Phú Thọ, Tuyên Quang, Lạng Sơn, Quảng Ninh, Thanh Hóa, Hà Tĩnh, and Thừa Thiên-Huế. In view of the deteriorating humanitarian situation and increasing needs, VNRC requested a second DREF allocation to support estimated 36, 530 people across the most aected provinces. As of early 2026, Viet Nam has transitioned into the early recovery phase, with ongoing humanitarian needs in previously aected areas, where access has largely been restored but some remote and mountainous locations remain intermittently inaccessible due to landslides, recovery eorts in housing, livelihoods and infrastructure continue, and despite no nationwide emergency declaration, communities remain vulnerable to localized ooding and landslides during the upcoming rainy season.
