Background of Climate Change Impact and Increased Rainfall Leading to Natural Disasters

Current Situation

In recent years, the obvious impacts of climate change have had a strong impact on a global scale. Many areas are facing increasing natural disasters, causing many serious consequences.

Vietnam - A Heavily Affected Country

Vietnam is one of the countries that is often affected by natural disasters due to its unique geographical location. Extreme weather phenomena such as storms, floods and heavy rains occur frequently, causing a lot of damage to infrastructure, property and people's lives.

Concerns About Increased Heavy Rainfall

In recent years, the sudden increase in heavy rains in Vietnam has become a worrying issue. This phenomenon not only increases the risk of natural disasters but also causes many serious damages to infrastructure and people's lives.

Heavy Rain – The Main Cause of Uncontrollable Damage

Rain is the main cause of damage and is the most difficult factor to control in natural disasters. Infrastructure that has not been properly designed and upgraded is susceptible to damage when heavy rain occurs. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on improving and building infrastructure to minimize damage caused by floods.

Landslides – The Consequences of Heavy Rain

One of the serious consequences of heavy rain is landslides, especially in mountainous areas. When the soil is soaked with water after heavy rains, the soil structure becomes weaker, leading to landslides, causing severe damage to construction works and surrounding communities.

Solutions to Respond and Protect Development

To protect sustainable development and minimize damage caused by natural disasters, Vietnam needs to take specific actions to respond to natural disasters. It is important to protect infrastructure and enhance the resilience of structures to adverse climate impacts.

Directions of Action

Disaster prevention and damage reduction should be implemented through infrastructure construction and renovation solutions. Upgrading and maintaining structures, especially in areas prone to natural disasters, will help reduce risks and ensure community safety.

Proposed Solutions to Enhance Drainage Capacity

To minimize the impact of heavy rains, it is necessary to enhance drainage capacity for structures using earthen materials or structures that are susceptible to water infiltration. Improving drainage systems will help reduce the risk of landslides and protect high-risk areas.

Okasan Livic has more than 50 years of experience in landslide and landslip prevention using Japanese technology. In modern infrastructure construction projects, slope stabilization and protection play an extremely important role in ensuring the safety of the construction and minimizing the risk of landslides. To meet this need, slope reinforcement materials Takino Filter (Multi-function Filter Mat) and PDR Underground Drainage Steel Pipe have become essential products thanks to their durability, high resistance and effectiveness in protecting the surrounding natural environment.
