126 MEDIA KIT monsoon rains), create fl oods that threaten devastation to millions of households. Two of Asia’s major river systems have their delta in Vietnam: the Red River Basin in the North and the Mekong River in the South. Both deltas are densely populated and account for the majority of annual agricultural production of the country. For these and other river systems in Vietnam, the peak discharge almost invariably leads to fl ooding. Floods are an annual event; river fl oods, sea incursions and fl ash fl oods all occur regularly. Other natural hazards that pose a threat to the country are landslides (mostly as a secondary impact of heavy rain) and occasional drought. Industrialization and urbanization may pose additional threats in terms of urban disasters and technological hazards. Vulnerability In a low-income country like Vietnam, vulnerability is closely related to the level of income, which determines how well communities are able to respond to and recover from a disaster. Further contributing to vulnerability are factors like the level of adaptation to the occurrences of fl oods, and the availability of alternative income sources. Poor housing quality is a major vulnerability in urban households: over 50% of the structures in urban areas have a non-permanent character. Recent Impacts Vietnam continues to suffer serious losses in terms of human lives and properties from extreme hydro-meteorological events such as the Linda Storm that affected southern Vietnam in 1997, fl ooding that affected the central provinces in 1999, and the 2000 and 2001 catastrophic fl oods in the Mekong delta. The total losses of these events amounted to 4,460 deaths and a loss of 17,600 billion VND. In 2004 and early 2005, unusual conditions of weather, hydrology and meteorology have resulted in heavy damages. Large scale drought has plagued provinces of the Southern, Central, the Highlands and the Mekong Delta since the end of 2004, affecting agricultural production, especially of rice and coffee crops, and resulting in water shortages for daily living. Hot weather at the end of the 2005 dry season has also led to tornadoes and hail storms in many locations. These have occurred in conjunction with fl ash fl oods and landslides in the northern mountain provinces.
