Reminds me of our cyclone preparations in Odisha and Andhra. Proper evacuation saves countless lives. Good that they're taking it seriously with the "extremely dangerous" warning.

The fishing communities will be hit hardest. Hope they've secured all boats and aquaculture facilities. Natural disasters don't discriminate - we should all stand in solidarity with those affected.

Climate change is making these storms more intense. While evacuation is crucial, we need more global action on climate. Vietnam is doing the right thing prioritizing people's safety first.

Hope the temporary shelters in schools have adequate facilities. Evacuating is one thing, but proper sanitation, food, and medical care during shelter is equally important.

Good move suspending domestic flights. Safety should always come first. Hope our Indian agencies are watching and learning from their disaster management protocols.
