  • Appendix 8: Damages Caused by Natural Disasters
    Building Disaster and Climate Resilient Cities in ASEAN Draft Finnal Report APPENDIX 8: DAMAGES CAUSED BY NATURAL DISASTERS A8.1 Flood & Typhoon Table A8.1.1 Record of Flood & Typhoon (Cambodia) Place Date Damage Cambodia Flood Aug 1999 The flash floods, triggered by torrential rains during the first week of August, caused significant damage in the provinces of Sihanoukville, Koh Kong and Kam Pot. As of 10 August, four people were killed, some 8,000 people were left homeless, and 200 meters of railroads were washed away. More than 12,000 hectares of rice paddies were flooded in Kam Pot province alone. Floods Nov 1999 Continued torrential rains during October and early November caused flash floods and affected five southern provinces: Takeo, Kandal, Kampong Speu, Phnom Penh Municipality and Pursat. The report indicates that the floods affected 21,334 families and around 9,900 ha of rice field. IFRC's situation report dated 9 November stated that 3,561 houses are damaged/destroyed. So far, there has been no report of casualties. Flood Aug 2000 The second floods has caused serious damages on provinces in the North, the East and the South, especially in Takeo Province. Three provinces along Mekong River (Stung Treng, Kratie and Kompong Cham) and Municipality of Phnom Penh have declared the state of emergency. 121,000 families have been affected, more than 170 people were killed, and some $10 million in rice crops has been destroyed. Immediate needs include food, shelter, and the repair or replacement of homes, household items, and sanitation facilities as water levels in the Delta continue to fall.

The extreme rainfall accumulations in Hurricane Harvey (2017) near Houston, Texas and Typhoon Damrey (2017) in southern Vietnam are examples of the TC rainfall forecasting challenges. Some progress is being made in understanding the internal rainfall dynamics via case studies. Environmental effects such as vertical wind shear and terrain-induced rainfall have been studied, as well as the rainfall relationships with TC intensity and structure. Numerical model predictions of TC-related rainfall have been improved via data as- similation, microphysics representation, improved resolution, and ensemble quantitative precipitation forecast techniques. Some attempts have been made to improve the verification techniques as well. A basic forecast challenge for TC-related rainfall is monitoring the existing rainfall distribution via satellite or coastal radars, or from over-land rain gauges.

Over the last half century, sigma has provided thought leadership spanning the ever-evolving risk landscape facing society, the macro and regulatory environments and their impact on insurance markets, and industry-specific topics such as underwriting cycles and distribution channels. As the industry's leading research publication, sigma has been and remains a central pillar of Swiss Re's vision to make the world more resilient. As the first edition of sigma in 2018, we are pleased to bring you our annual report providing data on and in-depth analysis of recent major natural and man-made disasters. Our first-ever sigma report on natural catastrophes (nat cat) was published in 1969, and nat cat has been a mainstay of the series ever since. In “sigma No. 12/1969: Insurance against power of nature damage and its problems˝, our objective was to “point out the nature and extent of power of nature damage˝ … by which “we mean events caused by the forces of nature.˝ Fifty years on, the “forces of nature“ continue to inflict devastation on communities all around the world. By far the largest nat cat events in 2017 were a series of hurricanes that hit the Caribbean and the US.

    Country Report (2005) For the 38th Session of the Typhoon Committee ESCAP/WMO Hanoi , Vietnam 14 - 19 November 2005 The People’s Republic of China I. Overview of Meteorological and Hydrological Conditions in 2005 1. Meteorological Assessment From October 2004 to October 10 2005, altogether 27 tropical cyclones (including tropical storms, severe tropical storms and typhoons) were formed over the Northwest Pacific and the South China Sea. The total number was basically equivalent to the average (27.49) in 1951-2004. Out of 27, 16 TCs were developed into typhoons, which accounts for 59.26% of the total. In other words, the total typhoon number was slightly less than normal average (17.19 accounting for 62.53%). During the same period, 2 TCs were developed over the waters around the Hainan Province, which were 4.92 less than the multiple-year average. During this period, 10 tropical cyclones made their landfalls over China and they were Typhoon Nock-ten (0424), Typhoon Nanmadol (0427), Typhoon Haitang (0505), severe Tropical Storm Washi (0508), Typhoon Matsa (0509), severe Tropical Storm Sanvu (0510), Typhoon Talim (0513), Typhoon Khanun (0515), Typhoon Damrey (0518) and Typhoon Longwang (0519). The total number was noticeably more than the normal average number (about 7), which accounted for 37.04% of the total in comparison with the average percentage (25.46%). Moreover, in the same period there were another 4 TCs that had affected the coastal waters of China, despite of the fact they did not land over China. These TCs were Typhoon Muiha (0425), Tropical Storm Merbok (0426), Typhoon Nabi (0514) and Tropical Storm Vicente (0516).

  • The MJO Continues to Be Weaker in Early November Than It Was During Much of October
    The MJO continues to be weaker in early November than it was during much of October. Diagnostic tools, including the RMM index, indicate that the remnant enhanced phase of the MJO propagated rapidly east from Africa to the eastern Indian Ocean since the beginning of November. During the past five days, easterly wind anomalies at 850-hpa have returned to the equatorial central Pacific as La Nina conditions become more dominant. The MJO is forecast to remain weak during mid-November with La Nina likely the major contributor to anomalous rainfall throughout the global tropics. Modifications to the favored areas of above- and below-average rainfall from the previous outlook are based on current satellite imagery and recent model guidance. Tropical Storm Rina accelerated north over the north Atlantic during the past few days. Tropical Storm Haikui formed near the central Philippines at 12.8N/124.4E on November 9 and tracked into the South China Sea. According to the Joint Typhoon Warning Center, Haikui is forecast to continue on a westward track, moving near Hainan Island and making landfall in central Vietnam. The most likely area for tropical cyclone development across the updated forecast domain is the west Pacific, to the east of the Philippines from November 15 to 21. This area is based primarily on the GEFS model. A weak area of low pressure is located well south of the Baja California peninsula over the east Pacific. Although conditions may become more conducive for this low pressure system to become a tropical cyclone next week, chances of formation during the next five days are low (20 percent).
