Abstract
Good progress has been made in typhoon disaster assessment in recent years. However, related terminologies are still vague and the framework for typhoon disaster assessment is lacking in the literature. This chapter focuses on the concepts of typhoon disaster evaluation, clarifying the definition of typhoon disaster assessment, and outlining a framework for typhoon disaster assessment. Based on the current evaluation, this chapter classifies composite indices into two types (i.e., absolute and relative), summarizes the definition of these indices in typhoon disaster damage measurement, and points out problems in the typhoon damage grade classification and indicator system, that is, previously, various factors were not fully considered in index selection and the uniform standards are still lacking in disaster grade classifications. This chapter provides a reference for disaster prevention and mitigation by forming the basic concepts and framework for typhoon disaster assessment.
