HANOI, Sept 13 — Vietnamese authorities warned today of the risk of floods and landslides triggered by Tropical Storm Conson, even after the low-pressure system weakened off the country’s central coast at the weekend.
Last week, the authorities put 500,000 soldiers on standby, readied evacuation plans and ordered vessels to stay in port as the country braced for the arrival of Conson. No damage has been reported so far to the coffee farms in the Central Highlands, the country’s main growing belt. Vietnam is prone to destructive storms and flooding due to its long coastline. Natural disasters — predominantly floods and landslides triggered by storms — killed 379 people and injured 1,060 others in the country last year.
