Abstract: Abstract Located in Southeast Asia, Vietnam is considered one of the countries most affected by climate change and natural hazards. More than 70% of natural disasters affecting Vietnam are typhoons; the frequency of typhoons and total losses have recently been increasing (Imamura and Van To, 1997). This paper assesses the typhoon losses in Vietnam and determines the typhoon features that have affect the casualty losses and house damage in Vietnam. The results show that typhoons in Vietnam, accompanied by torrential rainfall, often cause widespread flooding that damages properties and human lives. The findings indicates that the coastal region of Ninh Thuan–Ca Mau is the most affected by typhoons, although this region is at the lowest risk of storms. The government and local authorities need to strengthen disaster preparedness for response and focus on effective support policies to mitigate the adverse impact of typhoons in Vietnam. In addition, the government and insurance enterprises can offer natural hazard insurance, such as typhoon insurance, flooding insurance.
