Impact of Tropical Cyclones to Economic Development and Corresponding Measures for Disaster Reduction in China

Abstract:

China is one of the countries which suffer the damage from Tropical cyclones most severely. Tropical cyclones catastrophe causes tremendous loss of life and great majority of damage to China every year. Because of the economic influence of Tropical cyclones catastrophe, the defense of Tropical cyclones becomes an important issue. This paper first analyzed the Tropical cyclones characteristic in China, then we discussed relationship between economic losses and Tropical cyclones, and finally we tried to present some feasible suggestions for the construction of a recovery system for Tropical cyclones from the three phases, including disaster defense and reduction system, disaster crisis management, and disaster loss evaluation and compensation system.
