Unlike the Northern and North Central regions of Vietnam, which are frequently battered by storms, the Mekong Delta (ĐBSCL) has long been regarded as a "storm-scarce" land. However, in the context of increasingly complex climate change, this area is gradually becoming vulnerable, and storms – though infrequent – carry tremendous destructive power, directly threatening lives, property, and the sustainable development of the entire region. According to statistical data over 55 years (1960-2014), the entire Southern region, including the Mekong Delta, recorded a total of only 17 storms, with the storm season typically concentrated from October to December. Although the Southern region is less directly affected by storms compared to the Central and Northern regions, recent studies indicate that the southward shifting trend of tropical cyclone tracks, coupled with sea level rise, is significantly increasing the vulnerability of the Mekong Delta to phenomena such as strong winds, heavy rainfall, high tides, and storm surges. Storms or tropical depressions entering the East Sea and affecting Southern Vietnam can trigger a highly dangerous combination of natural disasters: large waves offshore, coastal storm surges, widespread inundation, riverbank and coastal erosion, damage to infrastructure, and severe losses to agricultural production and aquaculture. During Typhoon Linda in 1997, the storm surge reached a height of 1.5 meters along the eastern coast of the delta and even penetrated as far as 80 kilometers inland, reaching Can Tho City.
