TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Authorities in Vietnam were preparing to move more than 500,000 people from four central coastal provinces on Sunday as Typhoon Kajiki was set to make landfall.
More than 150,000 households in Thanh Hoa, Quang Tri, Hue and Danang were ordered to seek shelter inland.
Vietnamese carriers Vietnam Airlines and Vietjet canceled flights due to the anticipated weather conditions.
