What is Typhoon?
• Tropical Cyclones that develops in the northwestern part of the Pacific
Ocean between 180° and 100°E.
• In the Philippines, tropical cyclones (typhoons) are
called bagyo. The term bagyo, a Filipino word
meaning typhoon arose after a 1911 storm in the
city of Baguio had a record rainfall of 46 inches
within a 24-hour period..
Typhoons are categorized into five:
• Category 1 - Tropical Depression
-sustains winds between 119 and 153 km/hour (km/h).
It is the first notable stage in the formation of a
hurricane.(Morakot)
• Category 2 - Tropical Storm (TS)
- has winds between 154 and 177 km/h.
-a tropical storm is a system of intense thunderstorms
that progressively intensifies.
• Category 3 - Strong Typhoon
-A strong typhoon is a system of low pressure and
intense winds (between 178 and 209 km/h).(Maemi-South
Korea)
• Category 4 - Intense Typhoon (or Hurricane)
-An intense typhoon sustains high winds of 210
to 249 km/h and is classified as a category-5 storm,
which carries the highest element of risk.
• Category 5 - Violent Typhoon
-A violent typhoon is characterized by winds
exceeding 249 km/h.
• Variability in Activity
On an annual time scale, activity reaches
a minimum in February, before increasing
steadily through June, and spiking from
July through October, with September
being the most active month for tropical
cyclones in the Philippines. Activity falls
off significantly in November.

CAUSES OF TYPHOON
TRANSFORMATION
Pre-conditions and Conditions
of Typhoons
PRE-CONDITIONS OF
TYPHOON FORMATION
MONSOON TROUGH
This is an extension of the
Inter- Tropical
Convergence Zone where
cyclonic spin has
developed. The ITCZ is a
trough is a low pressure
created by the
convergence of the
northeast and southeast
trade winds.
TROPICAL UPPER
TROPOSPHERIC
TROUGH
The typical low
pressure center that
forms a typhoon
starts at the lower
levels and is warm
compared to its
environment.
FRONT
Stall over tropical
water.
A front has a cyclonic
spin associated with
it. If winds aloft
become favorable
with little wind shear,
showers and storms
could become more
numerous and cause a
typhoon to form.
MESOSCALE
CONVECTIVE
SYSTEM
These organized
clusters of storms can
move off a continental
landmass and drift
over warm waters. If
they already contain a
small vortex in the
cluster, this may make
to region even more
favorable for tropical
cyclone development.

EFFECTS OF TYPHOON
BUILDINGS AND INFRASTRUCTURE
The two most destructive forces
associated with typhoons are
wind and rain. According to the
Green Fun website, typhoon
winds can affect buildings and
other structures in two ways:
through direct force and through
projectiles. The heavy and
persistent rainfall that typhoons
bring can also have devastating
effects. In addition to making
homes uninhabitable, the flooding
associated with typhoons can
make roads impassable, which can
cripple rescue and aid efforts.

ECONOMICAL EFFECTS
• Different countries experience different types of natural
calamities. US are known for experiencing devastating
hurricanes while Japan is prone to earthquakes and
tsunamis. The Philippines, on the other hand, has had its
fair share of typhoons and tropical storms. Aside from
Ondoy, our country has experienced several devastating
typhoons. In the table below, we summarize some of the
most financially-damaging typhoons that our country has
dealt with
EFFECT ON THE STOCK MARKET
• Aside from the economic effects of typhoons and
floods, we also want to show the effect of natural
disasters on the stock market. A few days after
typhoons Milenyo and Ondoy, the PSE Index was
slightly down compared to where it was before the
typhoons occurred. Similarly, the PSE Index is down
0.4 percent, on lethargic trading, three days after
the peak of the recent rains and floods.
IMPACTS
FISCAL IMPACTS
• Natural disasters can have important
implications for public finance.
Disasters are likely to result in
additional expenditure and/or the
partial reallocation of already
committed financial resources, with
implications for planned investment
and other expenditures. Public
revenue may also decline as levels of
economic activity fall. In consequence,
a government may face increasing
budgetary pressures which could in
turn increase levels of domestic and/or
external borrowing or increasing the
money supply, each, in turn, with
potentially significant knock-on effects
(Benson and Clay, 2003).

WARNINGS (PSWS)
CONCLUSION/RECOMMENDATION
• Natural disasters, both natural and manmade, can and will occur,
often with little or no warning. It has tremendous effect not only
physically but also on the mental aspect of an individual especially
the younger ones. Disasters often strike without warning and
cause damages that limit or prevent an adequate response. We
have to commit ourselves to understanding these hazards and to
applying techniques that reduce our vulnerability. We need to
explore the feasibility of concerted scientific and engineering
efforts in reducing the loss of life and property through programs
of public education and of effective early warning system. The
development of warning systems with adequate range of
monitoring instruments for the purpose of collecting necessary
data and information for disaster evaluation is necessary for
establishing relative potential risks.
• The development of warning systems with adequate range
of monitoring instruments for the purpose of collecting
necessary data and information for disaster evaluation is
necessary for establishing relative potential risks.
Communicate knowledge for people to be aware and get
prepared on these hazards. Through public education,
introduce precautionary measures to have public
awareness on preparedness against these natural
hazards. Disasters are inevitable, predictable, and
expected; we must be ready to face them. The time has
come to fully develop technology for convenient and
immediate dissemination of warning system to the public.
