Vietnam, whose economy is strongly based on agricultural, is heavily exposed to natural hazards. Climate change is expected to exacerbate negative impacts on the livelihood of most rural households that are contingent largely on agriculture. In that, flash flood and landslides, which lead to great losses of people and property, is getting more and more concern of researchers globally. In this context, an intensive research in order to estimate vulnerability level of smallholder farmers to these hazards was carried out, applying the Livelihood Vulnerability Index (LVI) developed by Hahn, Riederer and Foster (2009). Yen Bai province, one of the poor provinces frequently affected by flash floods and landslides, in the Northern Mountainous Regions of Vietnam, was chosen for this research. This survey collected primary data on socio"=demographics, livelihood strategies, social networks, health, food, water, natural disasters and climate variability from 250 households in An Binh commune and An Thinh commune, which feature production of rice and other crops. In addition, secondary data on temperature and rainfall were also collected. Based on these data, the LVI was calculated in each commune by using a composite index approach, and then was compared to each other to find the most vulnerable locations. The final results of this research indicated that, since the LVI index of An Binh commune is higher than that of An Thinh commune, households in this place are more vulnerable due to the influences of flash floods and landslides. This debates whether the LVI index can be used as a reliable tool for assessing the vulnerability of a community and for providing policy guidance.}
