Typhoon Ragasa Hits Southern China After Fatal Floods in Taiwan and Philippines

  • On Thursday, Tropical Storm Ragasa weakened as it traveled westward near China's southern shoreline, heading toward Vietnam after causing flooding and destruction in parts of East Asia.
  • The storm reached its peak on Monday with sustained winds of 265 kph, killing at least 25 people in the Philippines, Taiwan, and Hong Kong before weakening.
  • Authorities evacuated over two million people in Guangdong, closed schools and businesses, and mobilized rescue operations to clear debris and protect infrastructure.
  • Vietnamese authorities directed government agencies and local officials to secure critical infrastructure such as dams and hospitals, protect fishing fleets, and prepare for evacuation and rescue efforts, while Hong Kong's Airport Authority planned to operate more than 1,000 flights by Friday night.
  • The storm revealed weaknesses in highly populated coastal areas, highlighting the critical importance of improving emergency response strategies and strengthening adaptive measures as typhoons become more powerful and erratic due to climate change.
