Abstract
Abstract Viet Nam is seriously affected by natural disasters including storms and storm surges. Assessing disaster risks, particularly storm surges for coastal provinces, thus, provides not only scientific evidence but also supports policymaking in natural disaster prevention and control. Given this importance, this study assesses the risks of storm surges in Vietnamese coastal provinces. The results show that the coastal areas of Quang Ninh, Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Ha Tinh, Quang Tri and Hue face the highest risk of storm surges. On the contrary, other provinces including Da Nang, Quang Nam, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, and Ba Ria- Vung Tau face the lowest risk of storm surges. The results provide useful information for better natural disaster preparedness in Viet Nam, namely planning and zoning of future development as well as supporting early warning efforts.
期刊介绍:
Coastal Management is an international peer-reviewed, applied research journal dedicated to exploring the technical, applied ecological, legal, political, social, and policy issues relating to the use of coastal and ocean resources and environments on a global scale. The journal presents timely information on management tools and techniques as well as recent findings from research and analysis that bear directly on management and policy. Findings must be grounded in the current peer reviewed literature and relevant studies. Articles must contain a clear and relevant management component. Preference is given to studies of interest to an international readership, but case studies are accepted if conclusions are derived from acceptable evaluative methods, reference to comparable cases, and related to peer reviewed studies.
