Abstract

There has been much progress in the study of typhoon disaster assessment in recent years. A comprehensive overview of typhoon disaster assessment from different sources is still missing from the literature of the specialization. Therefore, this chapter reviews and analyzes research on the issues of disaster system prevention theory, risk and damage assessment for typhoon disasters and assessment practice in some countries. On the basis of the analysis of the evolvement of assessment approaches, this study also points out the problems related to typhoon disaster assessment, i.e. the grade classification for assessment, lack of uniform standards and the selection of indicators that cannot take all the factors into full consideration. At the end of this chapter the investigators also give some suggestions for typhoon disaster assessment.
