Meteorological Assessment (highlighting forecasting issues/impacts) CY2009 has been considered an active year in terms of tropical cyclone formation over the northwest Pacific with a total of 22 tropical cyclones entered and developed inside the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR), seven (7) of which are Tropical depression, eight (8) are tropical storm and the remaining seven (7) reached typhoon intensity. From the 22 tropical cyclones shown in Figure 1, ten (10) made landfall and devastated most parts of Luzon particularly during the 2nd half of the year. Figure 1.1 Tracks of Tropical cyclones that entered the PAR in 2009 The descriptions of the twenty two (22) tropical cyclones that entered and developed within PAR are summarized below. 1) TD “AURING” TD AURING was the first tropical cyclone that developed inside the PAR for the year 2009. It originated from a low pressure area (LPA) situated to the East of Northern Mindanao or 140 km east of Surigao City. It remained almost stationary for almost 24 hours then gradually moved to the Northwest and veered to the northeast for the succeeding hours. TC AURING has weakened into a low pressure area after 60 hours prior from its initial development over the Philippine Sea due to the cold air entrainment preventing the system for further development. TC AURING contributed significant amount of rain over eastern Visayas and Northern Mindanao causing flashfloods and landslides to most parts of Northern Mindanao and Eastern Visayas. The maximum winds reached 55 kilometers per hour (kph). The initial and final warning was issued 6:30 PM, 03 January and at 5:00 AM, 06 January 2009 4 respectively. A total of 10 Severe Weather Bulletins (SWB), 11 International Warnings for Shipping (IWS) and (1) weather Advisory were issued. Figures 1.2 and 1.3 Tracks of TD AURING and TD BISING 2) TD BISING TD BISING started as a LPA east of Mindanao then developed into a Tropical Depression 3 days later. TD BISING moved closer to Northern Mindanao and Eastern Visayas the following day bringing significant amount of rains over Surigao and Borongan Eastern Samar. Incidentally the ridge of high pressure area extended over Luzon thereby preventing the system to move almost stationary the following day. PSWS # 1 was raised over Surigao Provinces, Dinagat Province and Siargao Island, Agusan del Norte, Camiguin, Eastern and Western Samar, Biliran, Leyte Provinces, Cebu, Bohol, Negros Oriental and Siquijor Island. TD BISING weakened into a low pressure area after 24 hours due to friction to landmass and shear. The maximum sustained winds reached 45 kilometers per hour (kph). The initial and final warning bulletin was issued at 6:30 PM, 12 February and at 5:00 PM, 13 February 2009 respectively. A total of 5 Severe Weather Bulletin and 4 International Warning for Shipping was issued. 3) TD CRISING The LPA west of Mindoro developed into a Tropical Depression in the early morning of April 30. TD CRISING has was almost quasi-stationary over the South China Sea for 2 days until it weakened into a low pressure area due to the formation of a low pressure area near Vietnam and the other one east of Bicol region. The maximum winds reached 55 kilometers per hour. The initial and final warning bulletin was issued 11 AM, 30 April and at 5 AM, 02, May 2009 respectively. A total of 2 Weather Advisory, 7 Severe Weather Bulletin and 8 International Warning for Shipping were issued. 4) TY DANTE (KUJIRA){0901} After almost a week over the coastal areas of Bicol region and Quezon, this LPA has finally developed into a tropical depression off the coast of Albay in the afternoon of May 01. “DANTE” was almost stationary off the coast of Bicol region due to the interaction with 2 cyclonic vortices east and west of the system then gradually moved north northeast slowly after 30 hours and intensified into a tropical storm. DANTE has intensified further and 5 reached its typhoon intensity afternoon on May 04 while continuously moving farther away from the land mass of Bicol region. Typhoon “DANTE” created heavy downpour to the area specifically Catanduanes and Albay provinces. The maximum winds/gustiness reached 140/170 kilometers per hour. The initial and final warning was issued 5 PM, 01 May and at 11 PM, 05 May 2009 respectively. A total of 15 SWB and 17 IWS were issued. Figures 1.4 and 1.5 Tracks of TD CRISING and TY DANTE 5) TY EMONG (CHAN-HOM){0902} The LPA near Vietnam and the remnants of TD CRISING remained almost stationary for about 24 hours prior from its entry into the PAR in the evening of May 06. It entered PAR as severe tropical storm west of Iba, Zambales and intensified into a typhoon after 6 hours. It continued moving east northeast towards the western section of Central Luzon and made landfall over the northern tip of Pangasinan (Bolinao) early in the evening of May 07 while continuously traversing Northern Luzon the whole night. TY EMONG has abruptly weakened after crossing the Cordilleras and the Cagayan Valley region due to the frictional effects of the terrain of northern Luzon. It moved farther away towards the Philippine Sea as it continuously weakened further. EMONG caused moderate to heavy damaged to infrastructure and loss of lives specifically over northern Luzon due to floods and landslides. The maximum winds/gustiness reached 150/185 kilometers per hour. The initial and final warning bulletin was issued at 11 PM, 06 May and at 11 PM, 09 May 2009 respectively. A total of 10 SWB and 13 IWS were issued. 6) TS FERIA (NANGKA){0904} Feria started as a LPA east of Mindanao then developed into a TD in the early morning of June 23. FERIA abruptly intensified into a storm as it moved towards eastern Visayas and made landfall over Borongan, Eastern Samar in the early afternoon of June 23. It crossed the island of Samar together with Masbate towards Romblon-Oriental Mindoro area and out over the South China Sea after 72 hours. Strong winds and heavy downpour specifically over eastern Visayas and Southern Tagalog region which caused most parts of the area to be under water. Heavy damaged to agriculture and infrastructure and killed atleast 10 persons. The maximum winds/gustiness reached 75/90 kilometers per hour. The initial and final warning bulletin was issued 5 AM, 23 June and at 5 AM, 26 July 2009 respectively. A total of 10 SWB and 13 IWS were issued. 6 Figures 1.6 and 1.7 Tracks of TY EMONG (CHAN-HOM) and TS FERIA (NAGKA) 7) TD GORIO (SOUDELOR){0905} The LPA east of Luzon developed and was named GORIO. It started to threaten extreme northern Luzon 9th of July, and crossed the area early morning of the following day. It continued moving almost westward at an average of 22 kph and exited PAR in the afternoon of July 10.

  • Risk Reduction and Management in Escalating Water Hazards: How Fare the Poor?
    Risk Reduction and Management in Escalating Water Hazards: How Fare the Poor? Leonardo Q. Liongson, PhD The article aims to take stock of and rapidly assess the human and economic damages brought about, not only by Typhoon Yolanda, but also by the recent Bohol 7.2 magnitude earthquake and its aftershocks during the period October-November 2013, and comparatively, the most recent typhoons and monsoons (habagat) rainstorm and flood events in the 21st century. It will also cover the positive new steps and efforts of the infrastructure and S&T arms of the national government, and the needed additional steps and tasks which must follow, for alleviating and mitigating the hazard risks of water-based natural disasters, with emphasis on helping and protecting the most exposed and vulnerable to the hazard risks, being the poor sector of the society. The article has emphasized the need for implementing structural mitigation measures in poor unprotected towns and regions in the country, especially under the challenge and threat posed by growing population and climate change. Likewise, non-structural mitigation measures (which have shorter gestation periods of months and few years only, compared to decades for major structural measures) must be provided under the imperative or necessity implied by the structural gap of existing structures to adequately reduce and effectively manage the increasing flood and storm surge hazard risks, caused by growing population and climate change.

  • Cruising Guide to the Philippines
    Cruising Guide to the Philippines For Yachtsmen By Conant M. Webb Draft of 06/16/09 Webb - Cruising Guide to the Phillippines Page 2 INTRODUCTION The Philippines is the second largest archipelago in the world after Indonesia, with around 7,000 islands. Relatively few yachts cruise here, but there seem to be more every year. In most areas it is still rare to run across another yacht. There are pristine coral reefs, turquoise bays and snug anchorages, as well as more metropolitan delights. The Filipino people are very friendly and sometimes embarrassingly hospitable. Their culture is a unique mixture of indigenous, Spanish, Asian and American. Philippine charts are inexpensive and reasonably good. English is widely (although not universally) spoken. The cost of living is very reasonable. This book is intended to meet the particular needs of the cruising yachtsman with a boat in the 10-20 meter range. It supplements (but is not intended to replace) conventional navigational materials, a discussion of which can be found below on page 16. I have tried to make this book accurate, but responsibility for the safety of your vessel and its crew must remain yours alone. CONVENTIONS IN THIS BOOK Coordinates are given for various features to help you find them on a chart, not for uncritical use with GPS. In most cases the position is approximate, and is only given to the nearest whole minute. Where coordinates are expressed more exactly, in decimal minutes or minutes and seconds, the relevant chart is mentioned or WGS 84 is the datum used. See the References section (page 157) for specific details of the chart edition used.

  • Typhoon Neoguri Disaster Risk Reduction Situation Report1 DRR Sitrep 2014‐001 ‐ Updated July 8, 2014, 10:00 CET
    Typhoon Neoguri Disaster Risk Reduction Situation Report1 DRR sitrep 2014‐001 ‐ updated July 8, 2014, 10:00 CET Summary Report Ongoing typhoon situation The storm had lost strength early Tuesday July 8, going from the equivalent of a Category 5 hurricane to a Category 3 on the Saffir‐Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which means devastating damage is expected to occur, with major damage to well‐built framed homes, snapped or uprooted trees and power outages. It is approaching Okinawa, Japan, and is moving northwest towards South Korea and the Philippines, bringing strong winds, flooding rainfall and inundating storm surge. Typhoon Neoguri is a once‐in‐a‐decade storm and Japanese authorities have extended their highest storm alert to Okinawa's main island. The Global Assessment Report (GAR) 2013 ranked Japan as first among countries in the world for both annual and maximum potential losses due to cyclones. It is calculated that Japan loses on average up to $45.9 Billion due to cyclonic winds every year and that it can lose a probable maximum loss of $547 Billion.2 What are the most devastating cyclones to hit Okinawa in recent memory? There have been 12 damaging cyclones to hit Okinawa since 1945. Sustaining winds of 81.6 knots (151 kph), Typhoon “Winnie” caused damages of $5.8 million in August 1997. Typhoon "Bart", which hit Okinawa in October 1999 caused damages of $5.7 million. It sustained winds of 126 knots (233 kph). The most damaging cyclone to hit Japan was Super Typhoon Nida (reaching a peak intensity of 260 kph), which struck Japan in 2004 killing 287 affecting 329,556 people injuring 1,483, and causing damages amounting to $15 Billion.

  • Kim Dae-Jung's Cyberinfrastructure Legacy
    Asia in AP, IB, and Undergraduate Honors Courses Kim Dae-jung’s Cyberinfrastructure Legacy By Hang Ryeol Na In the Western Pacific region, there are typically four stages in the de- velopment of a tropical cyclone, classified by their maximum sustained wind speed—typhoon, severe tropical storm, tropical storm, and tropi- cal depression in the descending order of wind speed.1 On November 1, 1991, for example, a tropical depression was identified in the western Pacific Ocean with estimated winds of forty-five kilometers per hour (km/h) (thirty miles per hour [mph]). Three days later, it was upgrad- ed to a tropical storm with peak winds reaching approximately eighty km/h (fifty mph), which soon made landfall in Samar, the fourth-larg- est island in the Philippines. Torrential rainfall resulted in catastroph- ic events such as dam failures, landslides, and flash flooding, which in turn caused approximately 6,000 casualties. Locally known as Tropical Storm Uring, it is recorded as one of the deadliest tropical cyclones in the history of the Philippines.2 Above: Former South Korean Presi- ast-forward to May 2009 in the same country.

  • Global Catastrophe Review – 2015
    GC BRIEFING An Update from GC Analytics© March 2016 GLOBAL CATASTROPHE REVIEW – 2015 The year 2015 was a quiet one in terms of global significant insured losses, which totaled around USD 30.5 billion. Insured losses were below the 10-year and 5-year moving averages of around USD 49.7 billion and USD 62.6 billion, respectively (see Figures 1 and 2). Last year marked the lowest total insured catastrophe losses since 2009 and well below the USD 126 billion seen in 2011. 1 The most impactful event of 2015 was the Port of Tianjin, China explosions in August, rendering estimated insured losses between USD 1.6 and USD 3.3 billion, according to the Guy Carpenter report following the event, with a December estimate from Swiss Re of at least USD 2 billion. The series of winter storms and record cold of the eastern United States resulted in an estimated USD 2.1 billion of insured losses, whereas in Europe, storms Desmond, Eva and Frank in December 2015 are expected to render losses exceeding USD 1.6 billion. Other impactful events were the damaging wildfires in the western United States, severe flood events in the Southern Plains and Carolinas and Typhoon Goni affecting Japan, the Philippines and the Korea Peninsula, all with estimated insured losses exceeding USD 1 billion. The year 2015 marked one of the strongest El Niño periods on record, characterized by warm waters in the east Pacific tropics. This was associated with record-setting tropical cyclone activity in the North Pacific basin, but relative quiet in the North Atlantic.
