Typhoon Molave Advances on Vietnam after Striking Philippines, an Industrial Info Market Brief

---

Typhoon Molave-20 was moving toward Vietnam after hitting the Philippines during the weekend, where it disrupted operations at several power plants. Molave is predicted to intensify before making landfall on Wednesday in Vietnam. The storm's approach has prompted the planned evacuation of nearly 1.3 million people in Vietnam, mainly in the area from the provinces of Quang Nam to Phu Yen.

Vietnam already has been hit by massive flooding this month in the Mekong River region, where a cement plant was shuttered.

Industrial Info's researchers continue to monitor the storm's progress and report on plant closures in the Disaster Impact Tracker tool as they are confirmed. For more information on the Disaster Impact Tracker, click here.
