🇬🇧 Typhoon Alert Update – Typhoon Kalmaegi (TINO) (Update 3 Nov 12:00 UTC)
Attention all residents and authorities in Central Vietnam and coastal communities of the Philippines: this storm is gaining strength and poses a serious threat.
⚠️ Situation:
• As of this morning, TINO — also known as Kalmaegi — continues to intensify and is expected to reach or exceed wind speeds of 100 knots (≈185 km/h) before landfall. 
• Forecast landfall is projected for late this week over Vietnam’s central coast, after crossing the Visayas region. 
• Already, in the Philippines, the storm has prompted signal 4 warnings and is moving westwards at approx. 25 km/h. 
🌊 Key Hazards:
• Extremely strong winds at peak intensity, with gusts likely higher than sustained winds. 
• Torrential rainfall expected across multiple regions including Eastern Visayas, Samar, Leyte, Cebu, Negros, and coastal central Vietnam — raising significant risk of floods and landslides. 
• Potential for large storm-surge along vulnerable southern and eastern coasts of the Philippines and likely similar threats in Vietnam’s coastal districts. 
🙏 What you should do:
• If you are in the projected path — prepare now: secure loose objects, reinforce doors/windows, ensure drainage is clear, and review evacuation plans.
• Follow local authorities and heed evacuation orders without delay.
• Stay tuned to official bulletins from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) and Vietnam’s meteorological services. 
• Keep communication lines open (mobile/battery power) and make sure you have emergency kits (food, water, medications, torches).
• Avoid travel at sea, keep away from beaches and riverbanks; expect transit disruptions and power outages.
